Aunt Alta's Peanut Butter Peanut Brittle

Aunt Alta's Peanut Butter Peanut Brittle

2 C Peanut Butter (Adams no stir is the best)
1 1/2 C White Karo Syrup
1/4 C Water
1 ½ C Sugar
2T Butter
2C Spanish Peanuts
Then mix together 1t baking soda 2t water and 1 t vanilla

Heat peanut butter in double broiler. Combine sugar, syrup and ¼ cup of water. Cook to 275 degrees. Lower heat, add butter stirring until melted. Cook to 300 degrees. Add peanuts, remove from hear. Add soda mixture. Mix well, and then add peanut butter. Mix well again.

Pour at once on a well buttered shiny cookie sheet or marble slab. Spread as thin as possible. Cool. Break into pieces. Quick cooling is the secret. When I used cookie sheets I wet a bath towel and put it in the freezer and set pans on the frozen towel. I also wadded up foil, when buttered on the bottom it works well to spread the peanut brittle.
