2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

This peanut brittle is a bit too hard for my taste. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my peanut brittle turned out really dark. It's still tasty, but it's not very pretty.
