MAKE THE SEASON
With Homemade
Holiday Candy
COMPILED BY RICA KEENUM
As children, the sight of sagging stockings
dangling from the fireplace mantle meant
one delicious thing: candy. Seeing all the
sugary goodness stuffed into a sock-shaped bag
made our little hearts soar. There were so many
delights - classic foil-wrapped kisses, redand-white
peppermint bark, chunky peanut
brittle, shining candy canes and milk chocolate
molded Santas. Like brightly colored bulbs and
the piney scent of Christmas trees, holiday
candy adds something special to the season.
Old Fashioned
Peanut Brittle
INGREDIENTS
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup peanuts
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda
DIRECTIONS
1. Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.
2. In a heavy two-quart saucepan, over
medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn
syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar is
dissolved.
3. Stir frequently until temperature reaches
300 degrees or until a small amount of
mixture dropped into very cold water
separates into hard and brittle threads.
4. Remove from heat; immediately stir
in butter and baking soda; pour at once
onto cookie sheet. With two forks, lift and
pull peanut mixture into rectangle about
14x12 inches; cool.
5. Snap candy into pieces.
