Papa's Favorite Peanut Brittle

1 T unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups dry roasted salted peanuts (12 ounces)
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 Cup light corn syrup
1 T baking soda

Butter a large baking pan. Combine peanuts, sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Set over medium high heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly.

Insert candy thermometer. Continue boiling without stirring until 295 degrees (about 6 minutes). Remove pan from heat and stir in butter and baking soda. The mixture will begin to foam, so mix quickly (really, mix quickly), Pour into prepared pan (spread QUICKLY).

Let cool. Enjoy! Thank you Laura Wilson and Martha Stewart.
