Total Time:

Ingredients:
  • 550g (2 1/2 cups) sugar
  • 125mls (l/2 cup) water
  • 50g butter
  • 75g (1/2 cup) unsalted, roasted peanuts
Instructions:
  • Prepare a 28 x 18cm slice pan by lining it with foil.
  • In a medium saucepan, mix sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil. Boil gently, brushing the sides of the pan with a water-dipped pastry brush occasionally to prevent sugar crystals, until reaching a rich golden color (148°C on a sugar thermometer), about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the butter and peanuts using a wooden spoon until fully combined.
  • Pour the toffee mixture into the pan and let it cool until set.
  • Break the brittle into your preferred size pieces and store them in an airtight container lined with greaseproof paper, making sure to place greaseproof paper between each layer.
