How to Make Mixed Nut Peanut Brittle
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until sugar dissolves completely.
- Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom.
- Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring; continue cooking until the mixture reaches 295°F (146°C) – a clear, golden-brown color.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in peanuts and mixed nuts.
- Quickly pour the mixture onto a buttered baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the brittle thinly and evenly using a buttered spatula.
- Let the brittle cool completely until hardened and brittle.
- Once cooled, break the brittle into irregular pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
