By Peggie

Sweet, Crunchy Candy filled with peanuts. Satisfying treat that is sure to bring a smile during the Holidays.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup Karo Syrup (light)
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups raw peanuts
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla
• extra butter for greasing cookie sheet

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a cookie sheet with butter and set it aside.
Combine butter, baking soda and vanilla in a bowl and set aside
Combine sugar, Karo and water in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Cook until mixture spins a thread when drizzled from your spoon. Sounds crazy but you'll know what I am talking about when it happens.
Add peanuts and stir while cooking until mixture turns light brown (approx same color as a paper bag)
Add the bowl of butter, baking soda and vanilla that you prepared and set aside earlier.
Mix until butter is melted and mixture is foam-y from the baking soda, Pour out onto your prepared cookie sheet and use to forks to spread it out as thinly as you can (approx ¼")
Let cool completely and use a butter knife to break it into pieces. (see picture below)
