Grease a cookie sheet with butter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sprinkle 1\/4 tsp salt<\/em><\/strong> over sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put in a warm oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will make it easier to spread the brittle in a later step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an aluminum sauce pan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3\/4 c sugar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1\/4 c light Karo syrup<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1\/4 c water<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat to 238 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stir often to avoid burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This may take up to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do NOT stir after it starts to boil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 1\/2 c shelled, raw peanuts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n use less for higher candy to nut ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep boiling for 4 to 5 minutes, or until peanuts begin to smoke or pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quickly remove from heat, add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 tsp baking soda<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix thoroughly as fast as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour thinly back and forth on a warm buttered cookie sheet (it will not spread properly if you pour it all out in one spot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tilt pan to spread (spreading with a knife will break the air bubbles causing hard brittle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cool.
