This is the peanut brittle that my Granny and mom made, usually around the holidays.
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1/2 c white corn syrup
  • 1/2 c water
  • 2 c raw peanuts
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  1. Grease a cookie sheet (with edges) very well and set aside.
  2. Boil first three ingredients in sauce pan until syrup spins a thread.
  3. Add the peanuts and cook until they are roasted and the syrup is yellow.
  4. Remove from heat and add baking soda.
  5. Stir and pour immediately on well greased cookie sheet.
  6. Let cool then break apart.
