    Recipe Introduction


    This is an easy and delicious treat. I make it every Christmas.

    List of Ingredients




    1 ½ tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. water
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 ½ cups sugar
    1 cup water
    1 cup light corn syrup
    3 Tbs. butter
    2 ½ cups raw spanish peanuts

    Recipe



    Place parchment paper on two cookie sheets. Mix baking soda, 1 tsp. water and the vanilla; reserve. Mix sugar, 1 cup water and corn syrup in a heavy nonstick saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 240o on a candy thermometer.
    Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring constantly, to 300o. Immediately remove from heat; stir in baking soda mixture.
    Pour half of the candy mixture onto each cookie sheet and quickly spread about ¼” thick. Cool; break into pieces.
