SLOW COOKER PEANUT 'NOT BRITTLE' CANDY



Slow Cooker Peanut 'Not Brittle' Candy image

I got this from Stephanie from A Year of Slow Cooking. I made some really good candy the other day,with all of the ingredients you would use to make peanut brittle. But the crockpot doesn't really get hot enough to make peanut brittle,so you get this awesome chewy fudgey peanut wonderfulness which is a lot like a Payday candy...

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c sugar or splenda
1 c light corn syrup
4 c of your favorite nuts (i used lightly salted peanuts and cashews)
4 Tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking soda
parchment paper or release foil

Steps:

  • 1. Drop the 4 tablespoons of butter into your crockpot. Add the sugar and the corn syrup on top of the butter. Pour in the vanilla. Cover your crockpot and turn to high for one hour. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or release foil. After an hour,stir well to mix everything around.
  • 2. Add the baking soda. It will sizzle and make fun noises. Your sugar mixture will be kind of milky yellow and the sugar might still look granulated. Cover again and cook on high for another 30 minutes. Check and stir in nuts. Cover and cook again for another 15-30 minutes.
  • 3. Or until the sugar mixture is brown and looks the color of peanut brittle. Or a payday candy bar nugent. Using oven mitts,carefully pour half of the pot onto each cookie sheet and spread out with a spatula. It will be lumpy because of the nuts. Let cool at room temperature for about an hour. Then tear into pieces.

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups sugar (Baker's sugar has finer granules and will dissolve well)
1 cup light corn syrup
4 cups your favorite nuts (I used 3 cups dry roasted lightly salted peanuts and 1 cup raw almonds. because I care about health.)
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon baking soda
Parchment paper or Release foil, to line pan

Steps:

  • I used my 6 quart Smart Set crockpot for this. I like the Smart Set because I can set it for 30 minute intervals and it will beep for me when the 30 minutes is done. And I seem to need the beeps, because I tend to wander off if I find something shiny. Drop the 4 tablespoons of butter into your crockpot. Add the sugar and the corn syrup on top of the butter. Pour in the vanilla. Cover your crockpot and turn to high for one hour. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or release foil. After an hour, stir well to mix everything around. Add the baking soda. It will sizzle and make fun noises. Your sugar mixture will be kind of milky-yellow and the sugar might still look granulated. Cover again and cook on high for another 30 minutes. Check and stir in nuts. Cover and cook again for another 15-30 minutes, or until the sugar mixture is brown and looks the color of peanut brittle. Or a payday candy bar. Then, USING OVEN MITTS, carefully (CAREFULLY! seriously---use the oven mitts) pour half of the pot onto each cookie sheet and spread out with a spatula. It will be lumpy. that's because there are nuts. Let cool at room temperature for about an hour, then tear into pieces.

This slow cooker candy is almost like the peanut clusters that you can buy. I have taken it to parties several times and there is never any left to bring home.
