Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup liquid light corn syrup

1/3 cup of water

1 TBSP. butter

1 1/2 cups salted spanish peanuts

1 teasp. baking soda

1/2 teasp. vanilla

Directions

in a heavy 3 quart saucepan: put the sugar, corn syrup, and water

stir over low heat until the sugar disolves

continue to stir until the syrup boils

put in your candy therometer

turn the heat to high until the temperature reaches 280'F

lower heat and add the butter, stirrring rapidly

then add the peanuts.

cook for 2-3 mins stirring occasionally until the temperature reaches 300'F

remove from heat, add baking soda. stir until it bubbles up.

add vanilla and stir again

pour into 2 well greased cookie sheets

spread thinly with a spatula

when the edges are cool enoughto handle, pick them up and stretch as thinly as possible.

as the candy cools down pull it loose from the pans and turn over.

stretch again. you want this to be thin

this candy doesn't keep well.. It will get sticky unless kept in a tightly covered tin can..

****a little note from Mom: be sure and grease the cookie sheets!
