Peppery Peanut Brittle
|
 |
1-1/4 cups salted dry roasted peanuts
1-1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coat a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan and metal spatula with cooking spray; set
aside. In a large bowl, toss the peanuts, hot pepper sauce and allspice until
evenly coated; set aside. In a 2-qt. microwave-safe glass bowl, combine sugar
and corn syrup. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes; stir. Add peanut
mixture; stir until blended. Heat on high 3-4 minutes longer or until mixture
turns a light amber color (mixture will be very hot). Stir in butter. Microwave
30 seconds longer. Quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla until mixture foams
and becomes light-colored. Immediately pour mixture onto prepared pan and
spread as thin as possible with prepared spatula. Cool. Bread into pieces.
Yield: about 1 pound.
