Directions:

Lay out several sheets of foil to spoon the hot peanut brittle onto
2
In a large skillet mix the sugar, syrup, and water together
3
Cook at a medium-high heat, stirring regularly

5
You don't need a candy thermometer for this
6
When stirring, occasionally hold spoon above mixture, allowing it to drip off spoon
7
When mixture is at hard ball stage, it will "hair" off the spoon when falling, looking like a clear spider web
8
Once mixture is at hard ball consistency, add raw peanuts
9
(They will pop a little
10
) When mixture starts to turn a light clear-brown, as if it's starting to burn, remove from stove

Add soda and stir
12
Mixture will foam up
13
Spoon out bite-size pieces onto unbuttered foil, stirring constantly between each couple of pieces
