Peanut Brittle (made easy!)
.sp
Ingredients:
.sp
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups salted peanuts
.sp
Grease an 8 x 13 pan with butter.  Spread peanuts in pan to about
a one-inch thickness.  In an iron skillet, melt sugar until it 
turns brown (but don't let it burn!)--to do this, keep heat at
medium-high.  When sugar is completely melted, pour evenly over
peanuts.  Let stand until cool.  Break into small pieces.

This recipe is a great idea for the holidays when you've had
just about enough of cookie baking.

ENJOY!
