In a heavy-bottomed saucepan on medium heat, add 3/4 cup corn syrup and spray the measuring cup with baking spray for easy pouring.

Add 3/4 cup water to the saucepan.

Add 2 cups sugar to the mixture and stir until combined.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and use a digital thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for 10 to 15 minutes to reach the right temperature.

Once the mixture reaches the correct temperature, remove it from heat.

Quickly add the salted dry roasted peanuts to the mixture and stir to coat evenly.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.

Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature before breaking it into pieces.
