Directions:
After you pour the white syrup in, use the 1/3 cup of hot water and pour it into the cup where the white syrup was in, this way you get all of the syrup out. Stir the syrup, water and sugar together to a soft ball sage. Once that is done add the salt and peanuts and stir in. Cook until its a light brown. Once that is done add the vanilla and soda and stir quickly. It will expand. Then pour into a buttered large flat pan

Personal Notes:
Mom would eyeball the brittle until it was a perfect light brown. I can do this also but the first batch I always burned it. So now I use a candy thermometer. Cook to soft ball stage than add the salt and peanuts don't sir often, but cook the second stage to 280 and it will be good to go.
