In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. NOTE: Using a candy thermometer, I waited until the hot liquid reached 250°F. Reviews suggested this, so that I didn't risk burning the peanuts. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking.

Stir and cook these ingredients on medium-high to the crack stage (301°-302°), stirring constantly. Turn off heat. Stir in margarine, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until well blended. This will want to foam over. Keep stirring fast until well blended. Pour into large platter that is well buttered. As soon as possible, start pulling over the edges of platter. Work on Formica or tile counter. You can't pull this out thin until it reaches the right temperature. (If it's too hot, it will not be clear, so just keep working with it.) You can make it as thin as you like, and break it into pieces.
