    Source of Recipe


    food magazine ?

    List of Ingredients





    1 cup Karo (light) (Corn Syrup)
    2 cups Sugar
    1/2 cup water

    2 cups butter (not margarine)
    2 cups peanuts (I use salted for the flavor but works fine without salt) you can use more peanuts!
    1 teaspoon baking soda

    Recipe



    Butter (really well) 2 pans approx 7" X 11" (or one large pan if you want
    thinner brittle) Stir together the KARO, Sugar and water then bring to a
    boil stirring constantly, Add Butter continue boiling and stirring to 280
    degrees (F) on a candy thermometer, then add peanuts (mixture should be a
    creamy tan color) STIR until 305 degrees F, (take off the heat if it
    starts to brown) Remove from heat and stir in soda and pour into pans. use
    a fork to pull away from the sides and when cool enough to touch turn the
    slab over when completely cooled break into pieces I've also used mixed
    nuts and made it a little thinner or for a real change add cinnamon or
    nutmeg.
