 Categories: Candy
      Yield: 1 1/2 pounds
 
      1 c  Light or dark corn syrup
      1 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Water
      2 tb Margarine
  1 1/2 c  Salted peanuts
      1 ts Baking soda
 
  Combine corn syrup, sugar, water and margarine in heavy 2 qt
  saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is
  dissolved and mixture comes to boil. Continue cooking without
  stirring until temperature reaches 280°F or until a small amount of
  mixture dropped into very cold water separates into threads which are
  hard but not brittle. Gradually stir in salted peanuts so mixture
  continues to boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until temperature
  reaches 300°F or until small amount of mixture dropped into very
  cold water separates into threads which are hard and brittle. Remove
  from heat. Add baking soda; blend quickly, but thoroughly.
  Immediately turn onto heavily greased baking sheet. Spread mixture
  evenly to edges of baking sheet with a greased metal spatula. Cool.
  Break into pieces.
