Peanut Brittle Recipe

Ingredients:
1 c. White Corn Syrup
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 c. White Sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. raw peanuts

Preparation:
Put syrup in frying pan and turn heat to medium. When hot, add cup of sugar. Then, when syrup is boiling, add peanuts and salt. Stir constantly in figure 8 until syrup is light brown. A little darker brown makes for an awesome peanut flavor, and no sticking in the teeth. Add 1 tsp. soda, stir, and immediately pour into buttered cookie pan. After the batch has been poured, let it cool enough to handle with hands. Remember, boiling syrup is HOT!!! so be very careful when you are making candies that use it. Flip the batch upside down and stretch out and make it thin enough to show the nuts through.
