Mom's Best Peanut Brittle


This is one of my favorite Holiday candies my Mom makes!
I remember her making batch after batch to give away as Christmas gifts, my Uncle Elmo loves when it's holiday time and I make this, its such a flaky crunchy recipe...not too hard on the teeth!
Perfectly flaky and yum!

3 cups sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
3 (heaping) cups of Raw Peanuts
3 Tablespoons of Butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soda (heaping)

Boil sugar, syrup, and water until a thread spins.
Add Peanuts and stir continuously and cook until a gold color
Take off stove and add butter, salt, and soda. Pour on to buttered board
let cool and break apart.
