Peanut Brittle

Peanut Brittle

2 cups sugar
½ cup White Karo Syrup
1 cup water
2 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups raw peanuts

Put sugar, syrup, and water into an IRON SKILLET, with deep sides. Gently stir constantly. Cook until it forms a hard ball (260°F on candy thermometer). Test in water. Add peanuts and cook until a golden brown color.

Add butter and soda. Soda will cause mixture to foam up (be prepared). Pour on a buttered tray or cookie sheet-with sides. Break into pieces when cooled.

Store in an air tight container, i.e. a sandwich bag.
