Honey Peanut Brittle

Total Time: 23 minutes
Yield: 20 pieces

Ingredients

• 1 cup African Bronze Honey (Use our Honeydew Forest Honey if you want dark treacly brittle, or our Miombo Blossom Honey for a lighter more caramelly taste.)
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 2 TBSP butter or coconut butter
• 1 cup toasted peanuts (or slivered almonds)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt

Method

1. Pour the honey into a medium saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
2. Cook for 16-18 minutes or until it reaches 315ºF degrees on a candy thermometer. This is the upper end of the Hard Crack stage, before it becomes Light Caramel Stage.
3. Turn off the stove and add the Peanut or Almond butter, butter or ghee, peanuts or almonds, vanilla, salt and cayenne.
4. Add baking soda and stir.
5. Pour mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, it should self-level and settle evenly.
6. Sprinkle with sea salt.
7. If you're a chocolate lover, drizzle melted chocolate over the brittle.
8. Cool in the refrigerator until hardened – if you live where we do, during the winter you can use the natural freezer we call outside!
9. Break into large pieces.
10. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Share with family or friends. Who doesn't need a pick-me-up at the end of January!

Happy National Peanut Brittle Day!!!
