Aunt Betty's Peanut Brittle

I attended my Aunt Betty's funeral today.  As a tribute to her I am posing her recipe for peanut brittle.  This is the recipe I have used for 40 years and it always turns out beautiful.

1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup Karo white syrup

Cook until hard ball forms.  Stir in 1 1/2 cup raw peanuts and cook until they begin to pop and turn a little brown.  Remove from heat and quickly stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon baking soda.  It will foam and scorch really fast so be quick.  Pour into buttered baking pan.  Sprinkle with a dash of salt and break when cool. 

Thanks for the recipe Aunt Betty.
