     Title: Peanut Brittle
Categories: Candy
     Yield: 1 1/2 pounds

     1 c  Light or dark corn syrup
     1 c  Sugar
   1/4 c  Water
     2 tb Margarine
 1 1/2 c  Salted peanuts
     1 ts Baking soda

 Combine corn syrup, sugar, water and margarine in heavy 2 qt
 saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is
 dissolved and mixture comes to boil. Continue cooking without
 stirring until temperature reaches 280 F or until a small amount of
 mixture dropped into very cold water separates into threads which are
 hard but not brittle. Gradually stir in salted peanuts so mixture
 continues to boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until temperature
 reaches 300 F or until small amount of mixture dropped into very
 cold water separates into threads which are hard and brittle. Remove
 from heat. Add baking soda; blend quickly, but thoroughly.
 Immediately turn onto heavily greased baking sheet. Spread mixture
 evenly to edges of baking sheet with a greased metal spatula. Cool.
 Break into pieces.
