My mom has made the best Peanut Brittle for years with her recipe given to her by her Mother!
I remember her making batch after batch to give as Christmas Gifts.
This is so light and flaky and very Easy on the teeth peanut brittle!
3 cups Sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
3 (Heaping) cups raw peanuts
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoons butter
DIRECTIONS
Prepare a buttered surface to pour your mixture out on to when complete
Boil Sugar, Syrup, and water until a thread spins...
You can check it by holding it over a plate or pan dip the spoon in and watch to see if the drops become like a thread..when it spins small threads from your spoon, then add the peanuts and
stir continuously and cook until the mixture becomes a gold color,
I normally do this by dabbing a tiny drop on something white (napkin, paper, plate etc) and then keep track as I go when I think it might be golden to check to see how it has progressed in the color.
when it is the golden color
Take off the stove and add butter salt and soda mixing quickly as it will begin to foam...pour onto a buttered board or surface and let cool
Break into pieces! YUM! Homemade peanut brittle!
Be sure to store this in an airtight Tupperware container to retain freshness and crunch! www.StorageSecrets.com

Thanks to Mom for all you taught me in the kitchen and to my Grandmothers and all their patience and sharing their time with me sitting on the counter and watching as they cooked through the years allowing me to help and learn! :)
