INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup butter OR margarine
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup Spanish, regular, OR dry roasted peanuts

DIRECTIONS

-- Place a cookie sheet on a protected surface to place candy after cooking.


-- Line electric frying pan with wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil. (Make as flat as possible. Do not puncture.)


-- Put sugar, water, syrup, and butter/margarine in frying pan. Set on highest temperature. Stir occasionally, using the back of a spoon. Cook until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. *See NOTE


-- Switch off heat. Quickly stir in baking soda. Add peanuts.


-- Carefully lift candy and foil out of pan. Place on cookie sheet, and spread candy as thin as possible. Let cool and break into pieces. Store in a covered container in a cool place (not refrigerated).


NOTE:


When I suggested cooking time was approximately 15 minutes, I was using a 30+ year old electric frying pan.


Using a newer frying pan, the temperatures seem to be set higher.


The cooking will probably go quicker.
