Steps

60 mins

1

Bring first 3 ingredients to 240 degrees or until all water has boiled off.
2

Add peanuts and margarine and cook until 275 degrees.
3

Test it by dropping a bit into some cold water. If crunchy, it is ready.
4

Once you get it to the crunchy state, which is around 280 degrees, add 1 tsp water, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 tsp baking soda.
5

Stir well and spread thin on silicone pads for best results. Otherwise, you can heat cookie sheets in oven and spread with butter, and then spread the brittle all over.
6

Once cooled, break into pieces.
