Peanut brittle 2

1 1/2 pounds

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Syrup, light corn
1 cup Sugar
¼ cup Water
2 tablespoons Margarine
1½ cup Peanuts, salted
1 teaspoon Soda

Directions

Combine corn syrup, sugar, water, and margarine in heavy 2 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to boil. Continue cooking without stirring until temperature reaches 280 degrees or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into threads which are hard but not brittle. Gradually stir in salted peanuts so mixture continues to boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until temperature reaches 300 degrees or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into threads which are hard and brittle. Remove from heat. Add soda; blend quickly, but thoroughly. Immediately turn out on to heavily greased baking sheet. Spread mixture evenly to edges of baking sheet with a greased metal spatula. Cool. Break into pieces.
