Easy Vegan Peanut Brittle

Instructions:

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
2. Combine Sugar, Corn Syrup, and Water: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
3. Bring to a Boil: Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. You’re looking for the temperature to reach around 300°F (hard crack stage).
4. Add Peanuts: When the mixture reaches 300°F, stir in the roasted peanuts. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 320°F.
5. Add Vegan Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vegan butter and vanilla extract. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble when you add these ingredients.
6. Add Baking Soda: Quickly add the baking soda and stir until well combined. The mixture will become foamy.
7. Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the hot peanut brittle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly.
8. Cool and Break Into Pieces: Allow the peanut brittle to cool completely. Once it’s cooled and hardened, break it into pieces.
9. Store: Store the vegan peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature.
