How to make buttery peanut brittle:

In a 3-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a full boil, 20 to 30 minutes. Add butter; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until candy thermometer reaches 280° or a small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a pliable strand, 80 to 90 minutes. Stir in peanuts; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer reaches 305° or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a brittle strand, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Pour mixture onto 2 buttered cookie sheets; spread about 1/4-inch thick. Cool completely. Break into pieces. Makes 2 pounds.
