Peanut Brittle (Sweets)

This is a Stan Paris variation of Col. Kirkbride Peanut Brittle that Kirkbride made up every year for people around the NW parts of Oklahoma way back when. Stan gave this Peanut source $1.09 per LB, 20lb bulk box, 12/2/99, Sanfilippo and Sons, 800-218-3077 Robin, San Juaquin Valley. L.A. location: 515 S. Lemon Ave., Walnut Ca., 800-326-1244.

Mix Butter, Baking Soda & Salt into a ball and set aside. Mix Karo in hot water and add to sugar in pan. Cook over high heat until boiling. Add peanuts and cook to hard crack 295 Degrees. Quickly, But Thouroughly, stir in butter & soda mixture. The ORIGINAL Recipe did not call for heaping protions, but I think it enhances the flavor. Spread evenly on 14 1/4 inch x 17 1/4 inch pan.
