Recipe Introduction

Easiest & most foolproof candy in the world, apart from standing/stirring for 20+ minutes!

List of Ingredients

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp. butter
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 lb. raw Spanish peanuts
3/4 tsp. baking soda


Recipe

Combine syrup, sugar, butter & salt in a 2-quart saucepan; heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add peanuts and, stirring constantly, cook to 300° or better, when syrup turns golden - about 20 minutes. Do not undercook.

Stir in baking soda and quickly spread on well-buttered baking sheet. When cooled, break into pieces.
