1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light Karo Syrup
1/4 cup water
Bring to soft ball stage (250 degrees)
Add 1 cup Raw Peanuts and then cook until 310 degrees stirring constantly (make sure you do this or it will burn)
Remove from Stove and quickly add 1/2 cube butter- stir until melted then add:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp soda
(pre-measure out the soda and salt so you can add it quickly, and cut the butter into small pieces so it melts faster)
Mix well and pour immediately onto two buttered cookie sheets. Stretch as soon as possible.
Grandma Bickley Hint: Use lots of butter on your fingers as you stretch the brittle to make it easier and prevent your fingers from getting burned. You can also use a fork. Keep stretching it til you can't any more. The thinner the better!
Some batches we added 1/2 Tbsp of cinnamon and we really liked it...so give it a try if you want!
