      Title: PEANUT BRITTLE DELUXE
 Categories: Candies, Christmas, Gifts
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 c  Sugar
      1 c  Light Corn Syrup; Karo
    1/4 c  Water
  1 1/2 c  Salted Peanuts
      4 tb Butter Or Regular Margarine
      2 tb Baking Soda
      1 ts Vanilla
 
  Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy 3-quart saucepan.
  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is
  dissolved. (Note: Be very careful when you make this recipe as the
  syrup is dangerous if spilled on you.)  Continue cooking, stirring
  occasionally, until the mixture reaches the soft crack stage (285
  degrees F.) on the candy thermometer.  Add the peanuts and butter.
  Cook, stirring constantly, to the hard crack stage (300 degrees F.)
  on the candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.  Rapidly stir in the
  baking soda and vanilla. (Mixture will foam up.) Turn the mixture
  onto 2 greased baking sheets (Jelly roll pans work nicely). Spread
  out with a metal spatula as thin as possible. When the candy begins
  to set, loosen from the baking sheets. Turn the brittle over, then
  stretch and pull brittle as thin as possible using two forks. When
  completely cooled, break into pieces.
  
  Makes about 2 pounds of brittle.
