    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
    1 Tsp. Water

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring constantly to 300 degrees on the candy thermometer (watch closely so mixture doesn't burn). Immediately remove from heat; stir in baking soda mixture.
