Dr Pepper Peanut Brittle

  • Dr Pepper Peanut Brittle (adapted from Cooking With Dr Pepper and 7Up)
    Ingredients:
    1 1/4 cups of sugar
    3/4 cups of butter (1 1/2 sticks)
    1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
    1/2 teaspoon of cayenne
    1/4 cup of Dr Pepper
    2 cups roasted and salted peanuts, shelled
    1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

    Method:
    1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Combine all the ingredients except for the baking soda in a pot, cook on medium heat and bring to a boil stirring often.
    3. When the temperature reaches 290 degrees, remove from heat and stir in soda. Mixture will foam up and double in size.
    4. Spread mixture thin on baking sheet using a silicone spatula.
    5. When mixture cools and hardens (about half an hour), break into pieces and serve.
