The sugar should caramelize during step 2 of cooking, as that is what gives the rich, golden color. Cooking the brittle higher than 300 F can cause the sugars to become weak and spongy (sticky). High humidity (above 60%) can also make peanut brittle sticky. Hi Sandy! The sugar should caramelize during step 2 of cooking, as that is what gives the rich, golden color.
