Steps:
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a bowl mix two cups of peanuts and a 1 teaspoon of baking soda, set aside.
- In a medium or large saucepan, combine the sugars, water, salt, and corn syrup, stir and place over medium high heat. Place a candy thermometer inside the pot, you can clip it to the side, make sure it does not touch the bottom of the pot.
- Allow to the mixture to come to a boil, stirring occasionally then add the butter and continue stirring.
- Once the mixture reaches 280 degrees F, add the peanut and baking soda mix, stirring very well, until the thermometer reads 305 degrees F.
- Remove the mixture from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, after that stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda until well combined, then immediately dump the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheets and quickly spread out using a spatula. The brittle should be THINNER than the peanuts embedded in it.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of peanuts on top.
- Allow brittle to cool for about 10-15 minutes before breaking into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container to avoid humidity, as it makes the brittle sticky.
