Peanut Brittle

Grandpa's favorite!

This turned out to be one of C.J.’s favorites on Thanksgiving ’99!

2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
1 cup unsalted  butter- cut into pieces
2 cups (12.5 oz can) unsalted, dry roasted peanuts or Raw Spanish peanuts
1 teaspoon baking soda

In 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat together sugar, corn syrup and water, stirring till sugar dissolves.  When syrup boils,about 8-12 minutes, blend in butter.  Stir frequently after temperature reaches 230°.  Add peanuts when temperature reaches 280°; stir constantly to hard crack stage (305°).

Remove from heat; quickly stir in soda, mixing well.  Pour onto two cookie sheets that have been sprayed with Baker’s Joy.  Spread evenly to about ¼ inch thick.  Move Quickly!

Loosen from pans when hard.  Break into pieces.  Freezes well.

Yield:  2 ¼ pounds

Mom’s Tips:
Mom likes to use a candy thermometer made by Taylor.  (clips onto the pan)
