Peanut Brittle
2 cups of sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 1/2-3 cups of peanuts (can use raw but need to add while reaching temp. of 290 degrees) I use dry roasted and add after temp. reached
1 Tablespoon of butter
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan; cook over low heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Continue to stir until mixture reaches a temperature of 290 degrees on a candy thermometer or the soft crack stage.  Remove from heat working QUICK!! Add peanuts, vanilla, butter, salt, and baking soda. Having already greased cookie sheet spread brittle on to greased cookie sheet thinly as possible and allow to cool. Once cool break into pieces and place into containers for gift giving. A yummy quick gift, and as long as no one is allergic to peanuts...it a sure crowd pleaser. I have had this recipe since I was a child I would make it all the time, I even have a microwave version......excellent. Thanks so much for stopping by I have a surprise at the end of the recipes so stay tuned. Have a wonderful cooking day!!! Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop
