Peanut Brittle

William's favorite! A crunchy peanut treat. Snagged this recipe from Tastes Better From Scratch.

Ingredients

• 2 cups - sugar
• 1 cup - light corn syrup
• ½ cup - water
• 2 tbs - butter
• 1 ½ tsp - baking soda
• 1 ½ tsp - vanilla

Steps

1. Have every ingredient ready as in some steps, you have to act quickly and don't have time to measure out then.
2. Put parchment paper on a sheet pan, for later.
3. Add sugar and water to a medium saucepan. Stir well until mixed, then add in corn syrup. Cook mixture over medium heat max, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a gentle boil.
4. Cook, stirring occasionally until the candy thermometer reaches 250°F.
5. Add the peanuts and stir the mixture constantly until the candy thermometer reaches 300°F.
6. Remove mixture from heat and immediately stir in butter, baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will foam and change texture.
7. Carefully pour the hot mixture onto parchment laid sheet pan.
8. Use a knife or spoon to quickly spread the mixture into an even layer.
9. Allow to cool completely before breaking apart and eating.
