- Add the peanuts, stirring constantly until golden brown or 300 degrees.
- Remove from heat. Add butter, salt, and baking soda. Blend thoroughly and turn out onto prepared foil or pans. Spread fast as it begins to cool quickly.
MOM'S EASY PEANUT BRITTLE
My mom got this recipe years ago from someone she worked with...she made it at Christmas and holidays quite a bit. I have never made it, but I know it tastes yummy!! If you like alot of peanuts to candy ratio, use the whole 1 1/2 cups peanuts (or more if you like)...it's purely personal preference!

Steps:
- Lay out several sheets of foil to spoon the hot peanut brittle onto.
- In a large skillet mix the sugar, syrup, and water together. Cook at a medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Heat until the mixture has a hard ball consistency. Heat to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. If you don't own a candy thermometer, occasionally hold spoon above mixture, allowing it to drip off spoon. When mixture is at hard ball stage, it will 'hair' off the spoon when falling, looking like a clear spider web.
- Once mixture is at hard ball consistency, add raw peanuts. (They will pop a little.) When mixture starts to turn a light clear-brown, as if it's starting to burn, remove from stove. Add soda and stir. Mixture will foam up.
- Spoon out bite-size pieces onto unbuttered foil, stirring constantly between each couple of pieces. Mixture can also be poured onto unbuttered foil as one big piece and broken into smaller pieces once cooled.

Steps:
- Butter two 15x10 jelly roll pans and a fork. Heat water, syrup, and sugar over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to boil.
- Add peanuts as syrup begins to thicken. Stir constantly until the peanuts just start to smell cooked and the bubbling syrup appears the color of pale straw.
- Remove from heat and add butter, salt, and vanilla, stirring vigorously. Stir in baking soda- mixture will foam.
- Pour onto one of the prepared pans.
- As the brittle begins to set, stretch the edges away from the mass and make it as thin as possible. As you stretch pieces away from the mixture, flip them over onto the reverse side and set them on the other jelly roll pan.
- Continue until all of the brittle is stretched as thinly as possible. Allow to cool on pans, then store in tupperware.
