Instructions
Before beginning, measure all ingredients.
Line a baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil and spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
Combine sugar, light corn syrup and salt in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to boil.
Cook at a boil, without stirring, for five minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 310 degrees (o syrup tests for hard crack stage).
Add the peanuts and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Mixture should be golden brown.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and baking soda.
Pour the mixture onto the foil-lined baking sheet, spreading it out with a wooden spoon.
Let stand until hardened and cool.
Lift the foil to break the brittle into pieces.
Store in an air tight container.
