Ingredients

  • Cooking spray, for greasing
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 ounces dark stout beer, such as Guinness
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup lightly roasted salted peanuts
  • 3/4 cup lightly crushed pretzels (about 1/4-inch pieces)

Directions

Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and sprayed with cooking spray.

Set a large, heavy pot over high heat. Add the sugar, beer, corn syrup and vanilla and mix together. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved completely and the liquid reaches a temperature of 305 degrees F (a small amount dropped in ice water will set and form a strand when dropped in). Remove from the heat and mix in the peanuts and pretzels. Carefully pour onto the prepared baking sheet and allow the beer brittle to cool completely on the counter top. Break the candy into pieces once cooled.

    I definitely will be making this for Christmas presents adding some of my own tweeks. I also added instant coffee, brown sugar and cho chips. Yummy! Next time I think I'll leave these out and add hot sauce instead!
    It took about 15-20 min for temp to reach 305...you might try cooking your next batch at a higher temp. My brittle was set in a hour. It's not sticking to my teeth :

    I made this for a Christmas give away. I think it tasted good but have a couple issues. When boiling the mixture, it seem to set at about 210 degrees for a long time before it went up to 305. The second issue, it seems to stick to the teeth more than I think it should....

    And to keri :0 I had peanuts in my ingredient list...And I used Guinness stout. and doubled the recipe.
