MOM'S EASY PEANUT BRITTLE
My mom got this recipe years ago from someone she worked with...she made it at Christmas and holidays quite a bit. I have never made it, but I know it tastes yummy!! If you like alot of peanuts to candy ratio, use the whole 1 1/2 cups peanuts (or more if you like)...it's purely personal preference!

Steps:

- Stir in vanilla and soda.
- Pour into 2 buttered pizza pans, just shaking pan to even out mixture.
- Cool and break into pieces.
OLD-FASHIONED PEANUT BRITTLE
Foods with a high sugar content, such as peanut brittle, tend to draw moisture from the air, so try to make this candy when the weather is sunny and dry rather than humid or rainy.

Steps:
- Butter a large baking pan; set aside. Combine peanuts, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Insert a candy thermometer. Continue boiling, without stirring, until temperature registers 295 degrees, about 6 minutes. When sugar begins to brown, stir nuts gently to ensure even cooking. Remove saucepan from heat, and stir in the butter and baking soda; the mixture will begin to foam up, so mix quickly. Pour onto the prepared baking pan.
- As soon as candy is cool enough to handle, use your fingers to stretch the brittle as thinly as possible over the baking pan. Allow the brittle to cool completely, about 45 minutes, then break into bite-size pieces.

Steps:
- Butter two 15x10 jelly roll pans and a fork. Heat water, syrup, and sugar over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to boil.
- Add peanuts as syrup begins to thicken. Stir constantly until the peanuts just start to smell cooked and the bubbling syrup appears the color of pale straw.
- Remove from heat and add butter, salt, and vanilla, stirring vigorously. Stir in baking soda- mixture will foam.
- Pour onto one of the prepared pans.
- As the brittle begins to set, stretch the edges away from the mass and make it as thin as possible. As you stretch pieces away from the mixture, flip them over onto the reverse side and set them on the other jelly roll pan.
- Continue until all of the brittle is stretched as thinly as possible. Allow to cool on pans, then store in tupperware.

FLUFFY PEANUT BRITTLE
This peanut brittle is very light and fluffy. It is important to coat cookie sheets with butter and put in the freezer to get them really cold before you need to pour the brittle. After you pour the candy you should put the pans in the fridge or outside if it is cold, so the brittle will set up quickly and stay fluffy. You could also use another nut if you are allergic to peanuts. This brittle won't break your teeth!

Steps:
- Butter 2 large baking sheets; set aside. Butter sides of a heavy 3-quart saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 1/2 cup water. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to boiling. Clip candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat to 275°, soft-crack stage (about 30 minutes). Add nuts; cook and stir to 295°, hard-crack stage (15-20 minutes more). Remove saucepan from heat; remove thermometer.
- Quickly add vanilla, stir in briskly. Sprinkle baking soda over mixture, stirring constantly. Immediately pour onto prepared baking sheets. Cool; break into pieces. Store tightly covered.
- This recipe produces a "fluffy" brittle, the candy is lightly honeycombed and opaque. For a dark and clear brittle, omit the baking soda. And let me know how that works out.
