Serves/Makes: 10
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups butter (not margarine)
- 2 cups peanuts (salted or unsalted), more if desired
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Butter (very thoroughly) two pans approximately 7\" X 11\" (or one large pan if you want thinner brittle). Stir together the corn syrup, sugar and water, then bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Add butter and continue boiling and stirring to 280 degrees F on a candy thermometer, then add peanuts (mixture should be a creamy tan color). Stir until 305 degrees F (take off the heat if it starts to brown). Remove from heat and stir in soda and pour into pans. Use a fork to pull away from the sides and when cool enough to touch turn the slab over. When completely cooled, break into pieces. You can also use mixed nuts or for a real change add cinnamon or nutmeg.
