Peanut Brittle

1 c. sugar
½ c. karo syrup
1 T. water

Bring to a boil and then add:

1 T. butter/margarine

Boil 1-2 minutes until the bubbles are thick then add:

1 c. salted peanuts

boil until the candy is the color of light peanut butter then add:

1 tsp. soda

Stir quickly then pour onto a very well buttered pan, spread it thin then allow to cool.

May add coconut and cashews instead of peanuts. If using raw peanuts, add ¼ teaspoon of salt and cook the peanuts in the candy at the same time you add the butter.

My Dad and I have been making this recipe for years, sometimes as many as 50 batches at Christmas time. I know when it is done by color, not by time or temperature. This is the best peanut brittle recipe I have tasted!
