Peanut Brittle Recipe

Subject: peanut brittle, of course!
This is a very simple recipe which makes it so delicious. It is light and airy. This brittle is terrific and not at all sticky.   You achieve this by adding the soda after you take it off the heat.

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
raw peanuts (however many you like)
1 heaping teaspoon baking soda

put all the ingredients, except the peanuts and soda, in a deep sauce pan.     Put on medium heat. stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.    Now add the peanuts.    Stirring at all times, take mixture to 290 on a candy thermometer.   Remove from heat and stir in one heaping teaspoon baking soda (make sure baking soda is fresh). now pour out on a greased cookie sheet. do not tip cookie sheet to thin, this peanut brittle is best when thick which makes it more airy.

Little known facts

Caramel and Butterscotch are made in similar ways to toffee, as is fudge. The difference is in the degree of boiling temperature and the ways in which they are cooled. This whole process uses high-heat to convert sugar. Crystallization, graininess, and whether it is brittle or smooth are simply variations of this process.
