Cinnamon Peanut Brittle

This is a recipe I found on the internet.  I like it as a variation to basic peanut brittle.  If you try it and find it not spicy enough.  try substituting the extract for cinnamon whisky or liquor for a slightly stronger punch.

  • 7 ounces granulated sugar
  • 3 ounces water
  • 5 ounces corn syrup
  • 1/2 pound peanuts
  • 1/8 ounce salt
  • 1/2 ounce unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Add water, sugar and corn syrup to pot and bring to boil, stirring constantly.
  2. Clean sides.
  3. Cook to 240 degrees F with out stirring.
  4. Add peanuts and salt and stir over heat until reaches 310 degrees.
  5. Remove from heat quickly and stir in butter and extracts.
  6. Pour mixture over silpat.
  7. Butter hands and pull brittle until thin.
  8. let cool.
  9. break into small pieces.
  10. enjoy!
