How to make best peanut brittle:

In a heavy saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until temperature reaches 280° on candy thermometer or until small amount dropped into cold water separates into a thread that is hard, but not brittle. Stir in peanuts so mixture continues to boil. Cook, stirring often, until temperature reaches 300° or until dropped into cold water separates into threads that are hard and brittle. Remove from heat. Pour into buttered pan without spreading. When cool, bread into pieces. Makes 2 1/2 pounds.
