Zubereitung von Aunt Ira's Peanut Brittle

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, and clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue to boil, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) – the hard-crack stage.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the peanuts are well coated.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Stir vigorously for about 15 seconds, the mixture will foam up.
Quickly pour the brittle onto a large, well-buttered baking sheet or silicone mat. Use a buttered spatula to spread the brittle thinly and evenly.
Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
