Instructions

• In a pan, combine the butter, sugar and water over a gentle heat. Stir until the butter melts.

• Add the syrup and continue to stir until the sugar melts. Bring to a gentle boil.

• In a small bowl of ice cold water, drop a small amount of the mixture into the water. If it hardens it's ready for the peanuts, if not continue to boil.

• Mix in the peanuts, test again as the nuts may cool the mixture slightly. When the mixture hardens in the ice cold water it's ready.

• Pour the mixture onto a greased baking tray and leave for 30 minutes. Carefully smash the brittle into pieces and enjoy!
