Instructions
Step 1
Grease a large baking sheet with some butter, or line with parchment paper, or silicone baking mat. Reserve the 2 tablespoons softened butter for recipe.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan combine the sugar, water, salt, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to boil. Stir in peanuts.
Step 3
Set a candy thermometer in place and continue to cook, stirring intermittently until temperature reaches exactly 300ºF / 149ºC. This will take about 10 minutes and mixture will get very thick.
Step 4
Immediately remove from heat and stir in butter, baking soda, and vanilla vigorously. (Be careful it will boil up and expand) Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread with a silicone spoon. Let it cool slightly then pull more with a fork, until it almost fills up the baking sheet.
Step 5
Cool completely and break into pieces. It takes a few hours for the brittle to fully set and eliminate any "chewiness." Store in tin or another airtight container.
