List of Ingredients




1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup peanuts
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1 tsp. baking soda



Recipe



Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.

In a heavy 2 qt. saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil, sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar
is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place and continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300°, or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard
and brittle threads.

Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter or margarine and baking soda; pour at once onto cookie sheet.
With 2 forks, lift and pull peanut mixture into rectangle
about 14 x 12"; cool. Snap candy into pieces. Yield: 1 lb. (16 servings).
