Steps:
- Lay out several sheets of foil to spoon the hot peanut brittle onto.
- In a large skillet mix the sugar, syrup, and water together. Cook at a medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Heat until the mixture has a hard ball consistency. Heat to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. If you don't own a candy thermometer, occasionally hold spoon above mixture, allowing it to drip off spoon. When mixture is at hard ball stage, it will 'hair' off the spoon when falling, looking like a clear spider web.
- Once mixture is at hard ball consistency, add raw peanuts. (They will pop a little.) When mixture starts to turn a light clear-brown, as if it's starting to burn, remove from stove. Add soda and stir. Mixture will foam up.
- Spoon out bite-size pieces onto unbuttered foil, stirring constantly between each couple of pieces. Mixture can also be poured onto unbuttered foil as one big piece and broken into smaller pieces once cooled.

CHEX BRITTLE
I think this will go over well for Christmas gifts and parties. I love snack mixes because I tend to snack more than fixing a big meal. Why buy it when you can make it fresh?

Steps:
- in a microwave safe bowl, melt the Chips
- combine the other ingredients in a large bowl
- when the chips are melted fully, pour them over mixture and then spread out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment/wax paper. Don't make it too thick or it will be difficult to break up (and eat)
- Allow to cool completely. Once brittle is cooled, break into chunks and serve!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your chex brittle will taste.
- Don't overcook the sugar. If you overcook the sugar, it will turn dark and bitter.
- Be careful when pouring the hot sugar. Hot sugar can cause serious burns, so be sure to wear protective clothing and eyewear.
- Let the chex brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. If you try to break it while it's still warm, it will be too soft and crumbly.
- Store the chex brittle in an airtight container. This will help to keep it fresh and crispy.
Conclusion:
Chex brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give chex brittle a try. You won't be disappointed!
