Peanut Brittle
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lite KaroŽ syrup
2 cups peanuts
1 tsp. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. soda
In a large #7 cast iron skillet on medium heat, cook sugar, syrup, and water until a small amount will form a soft ball when placed in cool water.
Add peanuts, stirring constantly until peanuts reach a hard crack stage.
Remove from heat and quickly add butter, vanilla, and soda. Soda will cause foam. Stir until well mixed.
Pour on a buttered aluminum foil sheet.
Thin to a single peanut thickness; cool
