Instructions: In a large, heavy saucepan heat the water, syrup, sugar and salt to boiling. Add peanuts, reduce heat to medium, and, stirring constantly, cook to hard-crack stage (293-300 F). Add butter, remove from heat and add baking soda. At this point the mixture will foam up considerably, so be careful. Stirring rapidly, pour onto a non-stick baking sheet (or a marble slab), spreading to 1/4 inch thickness. When cool, break in to pieces; store in an air-tight container.

This is very similar to the peanut brittle made by Billie Bob Murpheys mother, Money Jones.
