2 cups white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup salted peanuts

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 teaspoons baking soda

Butter sides of large, heavy saucepan. Add sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to boil, stirring constantly. Stir over medium-low heat until candy thermometer reads 238 degrees F (sea level). Stir in nuts and butter. Cook on medium to 300 degrees F (sea level) on the candy thermometer.
