👨‍🍳 Instructions

Grease a large cookie sheet.

In a heavy 2 quart 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 degrees F (150 degrees C), 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 and baking soda; pour at once onto cookie sheet.

With 2 forks, lift and pull peanut mixture into rectangle about 14x12 inches; cool.

Snap candy into pieces.
