4.67 (24 ratings)This is a classic, old-fashioned peanut brittle recipe that is both quick and easy – no candy thermometer required. Great for Christmas gifts or adding some pizzazz to those cookie trays!
Peanut brittle always fell into the category of “something to buy, not to make” for me. I didn’t grow up in a candy-making family, so tackling things like fudge and brittle was a little daunting to me when I began baking. While I always LOVED to eat peanut brittle, it took me quite a long time before I made it myself.
After all of that intimidation, I was surprised and relieved to find out how simply it came together, and how utterly DELICIOUS it was! I think the first time I made it I actually had to hide the tin from myself so I wouldn’t eat it all. If you’ve been on the fence about making homemade peanut brittle, it’s time to dip that toe in the water and whip up a batch!
How to Make Homemade Peanut Brittle
Homemade candy can be super intimidating, but I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to fear! This peanut brittle is simple to make; your family and friends will be so impressed when you show up with an overflowing tin at the holiday party. Here’s how we do it (only a few steps!):
- Make the Caramel – Boil together sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture is a deep golden color; this will take about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add Peanuts, Butter & Baking Soda – You will add these all at once and the baking soda will cause the mixture to foam up (that’s what gives brittle all of those teeny tiny bubbles and that glass-shattering consistency). Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and no longer bubbling, only about another minute.
- Spread the Brittle – You will need to quickly spread the mixture onto your prepared pan into as thin a layer as possible. It will start to harden very fast, so spread, spread, spread that brittle!
- Cool Completely – The brittle will take only about 15 minutes to firm up and cool completely, and at that point you can break it up and store it (or eat it!).
Peanut Brittle Recipe Tips
A few quick tips for making sure your peanut brittle making goes off without a hitch!
- Grease EVERYTHING! Before you begin this recipe, make sure that if you’re not using a silicone baking mat (so perfect for candy!) that you spray your parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray, as well as the spatula you are going to use to spread the hot brittle. The hot caramel will be sticky, and having everything greased will allow you to work faster and get the brittle spread into a thin, even layer.
- Prep the Ingredients – Have the peanuts, butter, and baking soda measured out and ready to go before you start the caramel. You’ll need to add it all at once as soon as the caramel is ready and you don’t want to have to pause to do any measuring.
- Work QUICKLY! As soon as it’s ready, you’ll need to pour and spread the brittle onto the prepared pan very quickly. This is key to getting that thin “brittle” consistency; you don’t want to be left with thick brittle!
- You can use unsalted peanuts, salted peanuts, roasted peanuts, dry roasted peanuts, or raw peanuts in this recipe. Since we are adding the peanuts at the very end off the heat, roasted peanuts will not burn.

The texture of this peanut brittle is spot-on to what I have considered awesome peanut brittle in the past. Plus, there are a boat load of peanuts in this batch, which is music to any peanut-lover’s ears.
To wrap things up, MAKE THIS! It’s easy, you don’t need any special equipment, and it’s one of the best edible gifts to share for the holidays – it lasts for about a month and stays perfectly at room temperature; no special storage necessary!

Today was my first time making Peanut Brittle. I followed the recipe exactly except I used Miyoko plant based butter instead of regular butter. This is a great recipe. I am so pleased with the end result. It’s so fresh! Much better than store bought brittle. It will be a challenge sticking to the 1oz serving size. Thanks so much!

This was the best peanut brittle! Thank you very much for this recipe! (I like it warm) Other than the taste,the best part was the ease in making it. Second to that was the fact it is NOT sticky (or hard as a rock, like some) and hurt my teeth.

I filled the directions as listed, but mine did not darken to the deep caramel color. I’m wondering if my med heat wasn’t high enough? I thought about turning up the heat after about 20min but didn’t want it to burn. Any recommendations?

Michelle — Reply
Hi Tanisha, That might have been the case, or it may have needed just a bit longer. Candy-making can definitely take some trial and error in terms of getting the timing right.

I don’t use a thermometer either. They break,inaccurate , or get in the way . My recipe I ALWAYS use Mexican vanilla. Cast iron skillet, wood spoon. I have a pizza pan which I butter up and FREEZE. It makes a better crunch .

Just wondering, what brand of peanuts do you usually use? I know some brands add things like sugar and garlic to their roasted peanuts, which may alter the end product here. Thanks!

This recipe is spot on! My first batch was perfect! I made the following adjustments for my second batch – used 1 and 1/2 cups of peanuts and 1 and 1/2 cups of crispy bacon – er meh gawd – so good!

I feel kinda dumb asking this, but from the picture it looks like you used the salted dry roasted. Is that correct? I would have thought unsalted just because the salted have seasonings on them as well. I will get whatever you used.

This is the best peanut brittle recipe I’ve ever made. I like that it’s not teeth breaking hard. I have made three batches for Christmas gifts. Actually two and a half, since I ate half of the first batch. The other recipe I am using for Christmas gifts is BEB Orange Cookies with Sweet Orange Glaze. This is a real keeper and everyone I’ve made them for can’t believe howdelicious they are!

Thanks for this timely reminder to make some brittle! I haven’t made any in a while and this is a great recipe! My grandmother made it all the time when I was young and it’s my dad’s favorite thing. I surprise him with it occasionally and we reminisce about gramma.. I do have a couple tips though….never make it when it’s humid. Don’t know why…gramma always said make it in the winter only when it’s dry outside. I’ve tried in the summer (I am in the Midwest and the humidity can be gross) and it’s not as good and it is sticky, tough, and doesn’t set right. Can’t explain but always trusted gramma! :)
Also, as the sugar is cooking, you can lightly brush down the sugar that sticks to the side of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water. I use a silicon brush so it doesn’t stick. The water will boil off and it will prevent the sugar granules from burning and sticking and not dissolving. I do this when I make caramels too. Makes a huge difference and everything dissolves nicely.
Happy Holidays!-

Sugar absorbs moisture from the air. If it is humid, the candy will be sticky and may not set up, as you have found. So if your summers are humid, that’s not a good time to make candy. It’s the other way around in Seattle where I am – summer is usually perfect for candy making. Winter is usually not, since the weather is often drizzly.

I didn’t see it in the recipe or when I was scanning through the comments, but could you use other types of nuts for this
recipe? I’m not a huge fan of peanuts, but I love cashews. Could I use cashews in this recipe?

I’m used to the canned 1 inch square variety that seems to only be available around the holidays. “No caramel or nugget. Light colored, not the dark orange brittle” Is you’re recipe
The one I’m looking for?
That’s for you time.
P.s. as you know many internet recipes aren’t like they are described at all.
Thanks again. You have my vote! :-)-

Thank you so much for this recipe! I used another recipe before it twice and both of my batches came out ruined. Should have known to go straight to a baking blog. xD
I still don’t know what “deep golden” looks like, but I rapid simmered for the full 25 minutes on medium-high (6-7 on the dial), and used a candy thermometer anyway, and about the time the timer was about to go off, my thermometer read 300 F! But the color of my mixture was a light gold. I just couldn’t tell from the whiteness of the bubbling.

snoekie — Reply
Made it twice now, use in combination with thermometer, and it never gets to soft crack stage, before it suddenly, and I mean suddenly, circa 250, starts turning to brown. (first batch dark brown-310 on termometer- and bitter very rapid change). For me about 27 mins before tha change starts. Great success. Now to try with unroasted peanuts- damn sight heaper.

Hi Samantha, You can use dark corn syrup, the brittle will just be a bit sweeter.

Ryann — Reply
Made this today and I almost think, from reading into the art of peanut brittle, that a candy thermometer is needed. The caramel should be brought up to 300-310 degrees F, and also I read to use raw peanuts, not roasted ones, because they could burn. Just thought I’d share some tips. My peanut brittle was chewy and I’m thinking I’ll have to put it back on the stove to 300 degrees, but I’m worried the dry roasted peanuts will burn. We’ll see.

Tom — Reply
Great recipe. I made a double batch last night and it came out perfect. It has a beautiful gloss to it and the brittle is nice and crunchy. I suggest you get your butter, baking soda and peanuts ready so you can add them as soon as the carmel turns the amber color. It sets up fast so you have to get it from the pot to the cookie and begin spreading it really quickly . I used the back of a metal ladle to spread it.

Michelle — Reply
Hi Jasmine, For any type of candy or brittle, the key really is to work quickly. It takes some practice. Also, spray a rubber spatula with some non-stick cooking spray – it will help to spread the candy out with less effort.

Cathie — Reply
I followed this method exactly but for some reason the brittle is soft! can you tell me why it didn’t set?
-
Michelle — Reply
Hi Cathie, If it didn’t set then the mixture wasn’t boiled long enough. All stoves are different, so make sure that the mixture comes to a rapid simmer (which is almost a full, rolling boil). Also, make sure that the mixture develops a deep golden brown color. This could take longer than the amount of time specified, all depending on the type of stove and strength of the heat.

Bruce — Reply
I am considering trying this out, but is light corn syrup required, or can I use regular corn syrup?
-
Michelle — Reply
Hi Bruce, I’ve only ever seen light corn syrup and dark corn syrup; what would you mean by “regular” corn syrup?
-
Bruce —
Thanks Michelle, all I could find was a golden corn syrup , so I will give that a try.
-
Alan —
I think the confusion here is that there is a “light” corn syrup and a “lite” corn syrup, (both made by Karo).
The “light” corn syrup called for in the recipe here is referring to the color of the syrup opposed to the one that is dark brown in color and is labeled “Dark” corn syrup. I believe Bruce is asking about the “lite” corn syrup that I believe is 33% less calories due to a lower carb count (but nor much less sugar only like 2g less).
Please either person here correct me if im wrong but from the outside this is how I interpreted thinsg.

I made this for my dad for Christmas, and it was delicious! I didn’t think I liked peanut brittle, but of course I had to sample it – and it turns out I do like it after all.
It did take longer than 20-25 mins to caramelize the sugar, but it may have just been a difference in how to interpret the meaning of “rapid simmer”. I didn’t pay attention to how long it actually took, because I was making two other things at the same time. :) -
Cindy in SC — Reply
I’m a novice in the kitchen….and tried the recipe this morning. I am not sure I did it justice. It took longer to turn golden brown, so not sure if I cooked it at a high enough temp….once it did, it went just as the recipe said. My question is that it was so thick, I had a hard time getting it in the pan.
Any suggestions? My first batch is too lumpy…..was thinking it would pour into the pan…Thank you so much for all your great recipes and instructions, it gives me courage to experiment!-
Michelle — Reply
Hi Cindy, I found that once the mixture hit that golden color, you have to move really quickly. It will start to set almost immediately.

You’re so right, a candy thermometer is totally not necessary. And considering how good brittle is, the small effort required is more than worth it. I like to throw any nuts or seeds in there that I have lying around, and like some others, I HAVE to give most of it away, or I am sure to eat it all :).

I’m with Shellie Anne and Erin on this one . . . I make this in the microwave and since I’m not a huge peanut fan, I make almond brittle instead . . . it’s a huge hit (and an expected hostess gift) and holiday parties I attend . . . I usually have to take two packages — one for guests to enjoy, one for the host to hide for themselves to have after everyone has left!
Brittles and toffees can be humidity sensitive, so store in an air-tight container — I’m in California where winter (usually) means rain, and I’ve not had Katie’s problem.

I made peanut brittle for the first time last Christmas. My recipe was a microwave version (which is even scarier than no-thermometer-stovetop-candy-making to me) and it turned out remarkably well. If I can do it, in a microwave no less, anyone can do it! Your recipe sounds so yummy I think I need to have a side-by-side taste test…

Shellie Anne — Reply
The microwave method takes only 5 minutes and turns out just as yummy. I like to use a can of mixed nuts just to give it an extra kick! and scary enough, you can add a dash of food color for the holidays to make it stand out, or even some beet juice. :)

My mother loved peanut brittle evenwith her false teeth. I like it but not when it is so thick that it feels it will break my teeth. Had some homemade in AR at a church sale.
