Ingredients

• 1 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1.5 cups Raw Peanuts (unsalted)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set it aside.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the honey and butter. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring regularly until the butter is fully melted and the honey begins to bubble gently.

Step 3

Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan. Continue cooking the honey-butter mixture over medium heat without stirring until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This usually takes around 10-12 minutes. Keep a close eye on the thermometer to avoid burning.

Step 4

Once the mixture reaches 300°F, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and baking soda. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up vigorously.

Step 5

Quickly fold in the raw peanuts, ensuring they are evenly coated in the caramel-like mixture.

Step 6

Pour the peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, working quickly before it starts to harden.

Step 7

Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature, about 30-45 minutes. Once hardened, break it into pieces of your desired size.

Step 8

Store the peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
