Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups raw shelled spanish peanuts, skins on
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking soda

Directions
  1. Heat sugar, syrup, water and salt to a rolling boil in a large, heavy saucepan (3 quarts or larger). Add peanuts. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly. Cook to hard crack stage. (300- 310 degrees F. I went to 310) Stir in butter and vanilla. Add baking soda and stir rapidly. The baking soda will cause contents to quickly increase in size. Pour onto a very lightly greased or sprayed baking sheet. Spread to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. When cool, break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
