Hot Cinnamon Peanut Brittle
Description
A fun twist on the original, this brittle tastes like a cross between hot cinnamon candies and traditional peanut brittle.
Ingredients
•
1 cup sugar
•
1/2 cup light corn syrup
•
1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
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.
2
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 batter 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.
