Chocolate peanut brittle Recipe

American · Dessert · 30 min total

A crunchy, sweet, and salty treat that combines the classic peanut brittle with a rich chocolate coating. Perfect for gifting or snacking.

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
3. Bring to a boil and cook without stirring until mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in peanuts, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. The mixture will foam.
5. Immediately pour onto prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer using a spatula. Let cool completely.
6. Once brittle is cool, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
7. Spread melted chocolate over the brittle. Let set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
8. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Tips

• For a thicker chocolate layer, double the chocolate and oil.
• Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
• Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets for extra flavor.
