As a child, I had the pleasure to enjoy my grandfather's wonderful cooking and candy making. He could make a particularly awesome bit of caramel popcorn, and my favorite - peanut brittle. Sadly, time wore on, and I moved away from home and never got the chance to get his recipes!
Thankfully, my salvation came recently when I came across some old papers. You guessed it! There, scribbled on a small piece of paper was an ingredients list and a temperature. Piecing that together with a cookbook recipe, I have come up with a peanut brittle that everyone enjoys...especially me!

Signing UpStep 1Ingredients and Materials
Materials:
Medium or large cookie sheet
High Temperature mixing spoon or spatula
Large Saucepan
Candy Thermometer (Not ABSOLUTELY necessary, but makes candy making a LOT easier for novices like me!)
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
1 cup peanuts
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda
First thing you'll want to do is grease your cookie sheet, and stick in the oven at 200F to stay warm.
Add all the ingredients except the nuts, butter, and baking soda to a large saucepan, with heat set to medium. Stir until everything is dissolved, then add the nuts. Now, clip your candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
As this mix begins to boil, melt your butter, and mix thoroughly with the baking soda; set aside.
