Preparation:

Step 1
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water. Attach a candy or deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue cooking until golden brown, reaching 350°F (170°C), about 15 minutes.
Step 3
• Quickly remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble). Stir in the peanuts to distribute evenly.
Step 4
• Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth it out with a silicone spatula to create a thin, even layer. Let it set, uncovered, at room temperature. Break the candied brittle into pieces and store in an airtight container.
