Peanut Brittle

Dad always made this peanut brittle around Christmas growing up. Although I never liked peanuts, I do like the brittle part! :)

Peanut Brittle

Combine sugar, syrup, and water. Cook in saucepan until hard ball forms in cold water. Add peanuts, salt, and butter, cook until it is golden brown. Remove from heat, add vanilla and baking soda. Stir and pour into a buttered jelly roll pan, spreading thinly. When it has cooled, break into pieces.
