🍯 Demerara Peanut Brittle – Recipe

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• ¼ cup Bartender’s Secret Sauce Demerara Syrup

• ¼ cup water

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 ½ cups roasted peanuts (unsalted)

Instructions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, Demerara syrup, and water over medium heat. Stir to dissolve.

3. Bring to a boil and cook until mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).

4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in butter, salt, vanilla, baking soda, and peanuts.

5. Pour onto baking sheet and spread evenly. Let cool and harden, then break into pieces.

✨ Why It Works

Demerara syrup replaces corn syrup and adds flavor complexity you don’t get from white sugar alone. Its molasses-rich sweetness and golden caramelization make this brittle feel gourmet without complicating the process.
