Blistering Brittle
Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/4 cups dry-roasted peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Directions
Lightly coat spatula and large baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Combine hot pepper sauce and allspice in large bowl. Add peanuts and toss well.
Combine sugar and corn syrup in 2-quart microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir thoroughly. Add peanuts; stir again. Microwave again on HIGH for 5 minutes until light brown.
Remove bowl from oven. Add butter and vanilla. Blend. Microwave again on HIGH for 30 to 60 seconds. Remove bowl from oven. Stir in baking soda until well mixed and foamy. Pour onto greased baking sheet. Cool; as brittle cools on baking sheet, stretch it into thin sheets by pulling candy with two forks. Break into pieces. Makes about 1 pound.
