Why do you add baking soda to peanut brittle?

Question

adding baking soda to the candy gives the peanut brittle a porous, delicate texture. when you add baking soda to the mixture it reacts with the acidity in the sugar, forming carbon dioxide bubbles. this results in a lighter texture that is much easier to break and chew then it would be if you left the baking soda out.
