Peanut Brittle Recipe

This recipe is made on the stove.  I've seen many recipe's that use the microwave oven, but the containers get mighty hot, and if your going to make batch after batch, you really want a nice saucepan recipe.  Besides, there's just something different about making it in a saucepan that cannot be explained.  It just somehow.. tastes better!!!

You'll need:

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

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.  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.   Flip the batch upside down and stretch out and make it thin enough to show the nuts through.

I just poured these into smaller circles, for individual sale, and wrapped them.   I put in extra nuts, so that there was no problem showing them through, and I cooked them a tiny bit longer than just to light brown.  A little darker brown makes for an awesome peanut flavor, and no sticking in the teeth.   Mind you, if you make several batches of these, one batch is bound to get left a little bit longer as you are preparing for the next batch.  Remember, boiling syrup is HOT!!! so be very careful when you are making candies that use it.
