Lactose Free Peanut Brittle image

This is something I had made for my mom. At age 76 she became lactose-intolerant. I did not want her to go without during the holiday season.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons butter flavoring
1 cup white sugar
1 cup raw peanuts
½ cup corn syrup
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Grease a baking sheet.
  • Stir shortening and butter flavoring together in a bowl until well combined.
  • Stir sugar, peanuts, corn syrup, water, and salt together in a 2-quart saucepan. Heat mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until temperature reaches 300 degrees F (149 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Carefully stir baking soda and vanilla into peanut mixture until fully incorporated. Stir shortening mixture into peanut mixture until dissolved.
  • Pour peanut mixture in a single layer onto prepared baking sheet; cool until hard. Crack brittle into pieces.
