The Spokane Davenport Soft Peanut Brittle

We paid a small fortune for this delicious brittle until my mom found a copy cat recipe. Not we just make and eat way too much of it at home. So much better than traditional peanut brittle!

Makes 1 full baking sheet. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Ingredients

• 2 c creamy peanut butter
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 1 3/4 c light corn syrup
• 1/4 c water
• 2 Tbsp vegan butter
• 2 c roasted peanuts (no salt)
• 1 tsp baking soda (dissolved in 1 tsp water)
• 1 tsp vanilla

1. In a double boiler over hot water, place peanut butter to heat up while preparing syrup.
2. In a large pot combine sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water. Cook over high heat to 275º using a candy thermometer. Be patient (Barbara) this takes a while. I stir occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, stirring until melted.
4. Add peanuts and cook stirring for about 5 minutes or until candy starts turning brown and reaches 285º on the candy thermometer. Do not overheat, it will make the candy hard.
5. Remove from heat, stir in baking soda/water. Add vanilla & stir.
6. Work QUICKLY, fold in the warmed peanut butter stirring gently.
7. Pour candy mixture onto baking sheet and spread to fill out to edges.
8. Let cool completely (overnight) and break into serving size pieces.
