Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Peanuts
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat and set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add erythritol and stir until completely dissolved. Continue stirring while the mixture begins to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the mixture is bubbling and starting to change color slightly, lower the heat and add in the vanilla extract, followed by the peanuts and salt.
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture turns a light golden brown — be careful not to let it burn.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. This will cause the mixture to foam slightly.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it quickly as thin as possible using a spatula.
Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature until it hardens, which will take about 1 hour.
Once hardened, break it into pieces and store in an airtight container.
