[RecipesAndMore] Peanut Brittle

[Sugarsyl]

Peanut Brittle   Ingrediants 3 cups sugar 1 cup white corn syrup 1/2 cup water 3 cups Spanish peanuts, raw 1 tablespoon margarine 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons baking soda   Grease 2 long pieces of foil and have them ready on the counter top. Combine sugar, syrup, and water in heavy 5-6 quart pan. On medium heat, stir until sugar melts, then add peanuts. Leave on medium to medium high heat and stir occasionally. Cook until candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees, the hard crack stage. Syrup will be golden and peanuts will "pop" because they have roasted. Remove from heat and add the margarine, salt, and soda, stirring well. Candy will "puff up" or "foam up". Pour candy on pieces of greased foil. Pour candy quickly and stretch, using a fork or hands, when cool enough. Cool and break into pieces.   Makes 2 1/2 to 3 pounds. Success is not measured by what you do compared to what others do, it is measured by what you do with the ability God gave you.
