Default Why is Corn Syrup a key ingredient to Peanut Brittle?

another reason is that corn syrup is a liquid sweetner consisting of water, a
vegetable gum called dextrin, and various sugars primarly dextrose(glucose) the
vegtable gum helps it keep its good strong shape and give you a crisp crack.
and also it it aids in retaining moisture.
