Assemble all your ingredients:

1 cup light corn syrup
1 pound raw spanish peanuts
3 Tablespoons butter
1 heaping teaspoon soda

Butter a large baking sheet and set aside.
In a saucepan, cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves:
1-1/2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
Stir in: 1 lb. raw spanish peanuts
Boil until mixture barely begins turning amber, stirring often.
Add: 3 T. butter
Quickly remove from heat, stirring until butter is melted.
Stir in well: 1 heaping t. soda (Grandma's tip)
Stir quickly to incorporate, but don't overstir.
Soda will aerate the brittle, making it light and crispy.
