Peanut Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. water
1 c. dark Karo syrup
2 c. sugar
4 c. raw peanuts
1 Tbsp. baking soda
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 c. cocoa
4 Tbsp. vanilla
1 lb. butter, lightly salted
4 lb. powdered sugar

Preparation

Mix cocoa and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
In a large saucepan, melt the cheese and butter over medium-low heat.
Stir continually until dissolved. Add vanilla and then pour mixture over cocoa and powdered sugar.
Add chopped nuts, if desired.
Mix thoroughly with a large heavy spoon.
Pour into square pans, two or more.
Chill and enjoy.
This makes over 6 pounds of fudge, so you might want to cut it in half.
But you'll wish you had the other 3 pounds if you do!
