Ingredients:

  • 3 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups raw peanuts
  • 1/4 lb butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Start by preparing 3 buttered jelly roll pans, 15 1/2 X 10 1/2 and spraying 2 or more forks with non-stick vegetable spray; set aside until ready to pour the candy mixture.
  2. Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a large kettle; and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
  3. Add peanuts and cook stirring, until mixture reaches 280 degrees F on a candy thermometer (soft crack stage) and peanuts turn light tan; add butter, stirring until melted; continue cooking until mixture registers 300 degrees on candy thermometer (hard crack stage).
  4. Remove mixture from heat; combine baking soda and salt and stir into candy; pour candy onto 3 warm, buttered jelly roll pans.
  5. Use forks, coated with non-stick vegetable spray, to quickly spread mixture as thinly as possible (having two cooks makes pouring and spreading the brittle easier); also note that the mixture is extremely hot and should be handled with care.
  6. Cool thoroughly, then break into pieces; store in a tightly covered container(s).
