"Fans of classic peanut brittle recipes may have already experimented with dumping different ingredients into mixing bowls to make snacks that are better than store-bought varieties, but we'd like to turn your attention to one classic addition. Instead of peanuts - or in addition to the nuts - use corn nuts to make your next batch of brittle."
"You don't need many ingredients to make brittle, and the straightforward recipe is approachable for most practicing home cooks. Sugar, corn nuts, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, flour, butter, brown sugar, an egg, and salt can help you put a delicious treat together in no time. Once brittle is made, you can then use the homemade ingredient to fold into other recipes like cookies, ice cream, and brownies."
"To make the brittle, sugar, water, butter, and corn syrup are placed in a pot and boiled until the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Once removed from the heat, baking soda and corn nuts are added until well combined. This textured mass is then spread thinly across a piece of oiled parchment paper or a nonstick baking sheet and left to cool. The dried piece can later be broken off to distribute and eat."
Brittle can be made by boiling sugar, water, butter, and corn syrup to hard-crack stage (300°F), then stirring in baking soda and corn nuts before spreading thin to cool. Typical ingredients include sugar, corn nuts, baking soda, salt, vanilla, flour, butter, brown sugar and an egg, allowing both sweet and savory textures. Homemade brittle can be folded into cookies, ice cream, and brownies or enjoyed alone, paired with a paloma, or carried as a snack. Variations include adding chili powder or using pre-flavored corn nuts like ranch, cheese, or Mexican street corn, or roasting and seasoning corn nuts at home.
