2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup chopped peanuts (or cashews)
1/4 teaspoon each baking soda and salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

In a heavy or cast iron pan, melt sugar to brittle stage (295-300°F), stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; stir in baking soda, add peanuts and vanilla. Pour onto flat greased marble or a baking sheet.

Roll out until thin quickly with a buttered rolling pin. Let cool completely.

When brittle hardens (next day), break into pieces with a hammer and package in air tight container.
