I see boxes and tins of this stuff being sold for $12 and I cringe. It is
so easy to make!

Peanut Brittle

1 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. light Karo syrup
1/4 c. water
1 c. raw spanish peanuts
2 Tbs. softened butter

Grease a cookie sheet with butter. In a heavy saucepan on medium heat,
bring the sugar, syrup and water to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Stir in raw peanuts. Set a candy thermometer in place. Stirring
frequently, cook until temperature reaches 300F. Remove from heat.
Immediately stir in butter and baking soda. Pour at once onto greased
cookie sheet. Spread with a fork into a long rectanglar shape. Let cool.
Break the brittle apart and snap into pieces. Store tightly covered.
