Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a bowl mix two cups of peanuts and a 1 teaspoon of baking soda, set aside.
In a medium or large saucepan, combine the sugars, water, salt, and corn syrup, stir and place over medium high heat. Place a candy thermometer inside the pot, you can clip it to the side, make sure it does not touch the bottom of the pot.
Allow to the mixture to come to a boil, stirring occasionally then add the butter and continue stirring.
Once the mixture reaches 280 degrees F, add the peanut and baking soda mix, stirring very well, until the thermometer reads 305 degrees F.
Remove the mixture from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, after that stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda until well combined, then immediately dump the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheets and quickly spread out using a spatula. The brittle should be THINNER than the peanuts embedded in it.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of peanuts on top.
Allow brittle to cool for about 10-15 minutes before breaking into pieces.
Store in an airtight container to avoid humidity, as it makes the brittle sticky.
