1 cup karo light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
3 cups sugar
3 cups raw peanuts
3 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. butter
1 tsp. salt

Mix together sugar, syrup, and water in a heavy 2 quart sauce pan. Cook on medium high heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches 280°F. Add peanuts and stir continuously until mixture reaches 305°F. Remove from heat and add salt and butter. Mix well. Add baking soda and quickly mix.

As soon as the mixture foams up to its highest point, which only takes a few seconds, pour the mixture onto 2 large heavily buttered pizza pans. These pans will need to be prepared prior to cooking the brittle.

Do not try to shake, pull or stretch the brittle after it has been put in the pans. Make sure to use fresh baking soda that is less than 30 days old or your brittle will not foam up.
