 Glad Corn Brittle  (by Marie Oser of VegTV)

We’re all familiar with Peanut Brittle, but instead of Peanuts
we are making our brittle with Glad Corn:

1 1/2 cups Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sugar
1/2 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Light Corn Syrup
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups Glad Corn
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons Earth Balance vegan butter

Line large jelly roll pan with parchment paper, spray with olive oil cooking spray.  Set aside. 
Start by making a sugar syrup…   In a medium heavy-bottom pan, stir together sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.  Bring to a low boil and cover for 3 minutes, allowing steam to cook down any sugar crystals that may form on the sides of the pan.   Uncover and boil until candy thermometer reaches 250°.  If sugar crystals form, brush down with pastry brush dipped in warm water. Add Glad Corn, stir occasionally.  Cook until thermometer reaches 295°. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda, vanilla and butter. NOTE: Will foam and possibly sputter.  Immediately pour mixture onto prepared pan, spreading wide as you pour.  Spray rubber spatula with olive oil, spread as thinly as possible and let cool 5 minutes. 
Allow to cool completely, crack into small pieces and store in an airtight tin for up to one week. 

* * You may also stir the dried apples and walnuts in at the same time you stir in the GLAD CORN^® so all ingredients are slightly coated with the cinnamon glaze.
