Peanut Brittle
>> Monday, February 15, 2010
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!
