I made this recipe on Monday for some friends who were coming over to watch The Bachelor, and because it is SO good, I had to re-share! Make this for all the people. Trust me, you will be loved by all. Original post below:<\/p>\n
For my birthday, my in-laws gave me some peanut brittle from The Davenport, which is our city’s nicest hotel.<\/p>\n
I am a big fan of the stuff, and after I ate the entire box (by myself) in two days, I deemed that not enough. I wanted more. More!<\/p>\n
So, I went on a hunt for the perfect recipe and stumbled upon THIS <\/a>one, which looked pretty darn close. So, I decided to give it a shot. And OH. MY. It is every bit as good as the original from The Davenport. So, so good!<\/p>\n Again, here <\/a>is the original recipe from Just a Pinch Recipes and below is what I did, though following it pretty closely.<\/p>\n *You will need a candy thermometer<\/a> for this recipe, so make sure you have one before you start.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 cups creamy peanut butter (I used Adams PB)<\/p>\n 1.5 cups sugar<\/p>\n 1.5 cups light corn syrup<\/p>\n 1\/4 cup water plus 1 ts<\/p>\n 2 TB butter<\/p>\n 2 cups peanuts (I used mixed nuts we had on hand and picked out the peanuts and almonds)<\/p>\n 1 ts baking soda<\/p>\n 1 ts vanilla<\/p>\n Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Grease a 9×13 pan well. I highly recommend measuring out ALL of your ingredients before you begin, as well as dissolving your baking soda in the 1 ts of water. Once you begin, it goes quickly.)<\/p>\n 2. In a double boiler over hot water, place peanut butter to heat while preparing the syrup.<\/p>\n 3. In a large saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and 1\/4 of the water. Cook over high heat to 275* using a candy thermometer. Be very careful to make sure it is exactly 275* or else it will either be too hard or too soft. Lower heat to medium and add in butter, stirring until melted.<\/p>\n 4. Add peanuts (nuts) and cook while stirring for approximately 5 minutes until the candy starts to turn brown and reaches 300* on the candy thermometer.<\/p>\n 5. Remove from heat and add in the baking soda that has been dissolved in 1 ts water. Then, add vanilla.\u00a0\u00a0Working quickly, fold in the warmed peanut butter and stir gently.<\/p>\n 6. Then, pour mixture into well greased pan and quickly spread evenly. Once cold, break into pieces and try and contain yourself from eating the entire pan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
