Mom Howlett's Peanut Brittle

2 C sugar

1/2 C water

1 C white corn syrup

2 C raw peanuts

Measure & set aside:

1 T butter

1 t salt

2 t vanilla

2 level t baking soda

Mix together sugar, water and syrup. Bring to a boil in a heavy aluminum pan (pressure cooker great). Boil until it threads when dropped from a spoon, (abt. 265 degrees F). Add uncooked or raw peanuts. Let cook until syrup begins to turn light brown, (300 degrees F). Remove from the heat and quickly add butter, soda, salt & vanilla. (Don't accidently brush the syrup spoon on your fingers!) Stir and pour on a large buttered cookie sheet or marble slab. Spread thin and cool. When cooled well, crack with the back of a knife handle.

Enjoy!
