peanuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Almonds offer a different flavor and texture.

Warm some water and glucose in the microwave.

Place baking paper onto a wooden board, ready to pour the mixture out.

Roughly chop the peanuts and have them ready next to the stove.

Turn the induction cooktop to setting number eight.

Add the warmed glucose mixture to a larger saucepan and stir a little, but don't agitate it too much.

Once the sugar has dissolved, add in the chopped peanuts and reduce the heat to induction setting number six.

As the mixture thickens, stir continuously while heating it up.

Look for a beautiful light golden color or a temperature of 156° C to know the brittle is ready.

Add in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda, which will create foam and aerate the mixture.

Scrape the mixture onto the baking paper, which will darken as it cools.

Place another sheet of baking paper on top and roll it out while still hot to your desired thickness.

Leave the rolled brittle covered to cool completely.

Melt chocolate in a saucepan on induction setting number four, stirring continuously until it's half liquid and half solid.

Transfer the melted chocolate to a bowl and vigorously stir it.

Drizzle some of the chocolate on top of the cooled brittle and spread it out with the back of a spoon.

Sprinkle the surface with sea salt, as unsalted peanuts were used in the recipe.

Let the chocolate set on one side, then flip the brittle over and coat the other side with chocolate.

Let the chocolate set at room temperature.

Break the brittle into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a plate.
