    List of Ingredients




    3 C. granulated sugar
    1 1/2 C. water
    1 C. light corn syrup
    3 C. raw, unblanched peanuts
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1/4 C. butter
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Recipe



    In a 3-quart saucepan, stir together sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking until mixture reaches 232ºF on a candy thermometer, or until it spins a two-inch thread when the spoon is raised.

    Stir in peanuts. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 300ºF or until a small amount of mixture separates into threads which are hard and brittle when dropped into very cold water. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda, butter and vanilla extract. Quickly pour into two greased jellyroll pans. As mixture begins to harden, pull until thin.
