It is sweet, salty, and crunchy.
Its easy to make and not as hard as you might think.
Set it aside for later.
Use a damp pastry brush to wipe any sugar crystals from the sides of the saucepan.
Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
It will take about 10 minutes or more.
Do not rush the process by turning up the heat.
Step 4:
Once it comes to a boil, attach the candy thermometer.
It should not touch the bottom of the pan.
Stir occasionally until it reaches 250F.
Immediately add butter, baking soda, and vanilla.
Stir until well incorporated.
Step 6:
Pour the mixture into the prepared jelly roll pan.
Use two forks to pull the brittle apart and spread it evenly.
Use an oven mitt if needed.
Step 7:
Allow the brittle to cool for at least an hour before breaking into pieces.
