How to Make No Sugar Peanut Brittle

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup xylitol, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/4 cup honey.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300°F/149°C on a candy thermometer). The color will turn a light amber or tan.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 2 cups of your favorite mixed nuts (e.g., 1 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup cashews, 1/2 cup pecans).
  4. Quickly pour the mixture onto a lightly greased baking sheet or silicone mat. Spread evenly to your desired thickness using a spatula or butter knife.
  5. Let the brittle cool completely at room temperature before breaking into pieces. For easier breaking, score the brittle into pieces while it's still slightly warm.
