Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp butter
- 1 tsp baking soda
Preparation
Step 1
In a glass bowl, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, peanuts, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly blended. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Slowly stir in the butter, and microwave an additional 30 seconds.
Very carefully remove bowl from the microwave as the contents will be extremely hot. Gently stir in baking soda until mixture becomes light and foamy. Turn out onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet, scraping sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Allow brittle to cool for 1 hour, then break into pieces.
*Use a bowl large enough to allow mixture to boil during cooking.
