Peanut Brittle(Church Of God Candy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. sugar
1 c. white Karo syrup
1/2 c. water
2 1/2 c. raw peanuts
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. soda
1 Tbsp. margarine

Preparation

Combine sugar, syrup and water; bring to boil and boil about 5 minutes (until it strings).
Add peanuts and cook until golden brown (290\u00b0 on candy thermometer).
Add salt, soda and margarine (use hard margarine, not whipped or light); stir well.
Pour onto lightly buttered surface; a cookie sheet or aluminum pie pans work well.
Thin candy is more crisp than thick slabs.
Break into pieces and store in airtight cans or bowls.
