PEANUT BRITTLE 1 c. sugar 1 c. light cornstarch 1 c. water 2 c. raw peanuts 1 stick oleo 1 heaping tsp. soda This recipe for peanut brittle is very crunchy, not hard like most. The reason is the amount of butter used. This candy will not make if raining. Cook sugar, syrup and water over high heat, stirring constantly until it threads, about 10 to 12 minutes. Sometimes a little longer just until it threads real good. Add oleo and raw peanuts; continue to cook, stirring constantly until mixture turns darker in color and the peanuts start to crack, about 10 minutes. Sometimes peanuts will not crack. At once put in 1 heaping teaspoon soda and stir well. Pour onto buttered cookie sheets while still foaming, spread thin. Let cool and break into pieces.
