Beer Peanut Brittle - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
water
2 cups peanuts
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup warm beer

directions

In a thick bottomed saucepan with high sides, put the sugar with the lemon juice. Put enough water in just to cover. Place over high heat. This should boil for about ten minutes until the sugar turns into a light caramel. Do not stir.

While the sugar is boiling take peanuts and lightly crush them and place in the oven (400 degrees F) to dry out.

When the sugar looks light caramel, remove from heat and add butter. Let it sit 10 seconds before mixing with wooden spoon. There will be a lot of steam.

Next, as soon as the butter is melted add the beer. Stand back and let steam. Mix this over heat with wooden spoon. When mixture is homogenous, add peanuts and stir.

Pour mix onto greased baking sheet. Let cool 2 hours then break apart.
