Steps:
- Grease a large sheet of aluminum foil with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, combine corn syrup, sugar, and water. Stir well.
- Cook until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage (235°F) using a candy thermometer.
- Add peanuts and stir constantly. Seriously. Constantly.
- Cook until the mixture reaches the hard crack stage (300°F). The peanuts might start popping and you might see a little smoke come off the mixture. Remove it form the heat as soon as it hits the 300°F mark. It'll scorch if you get it too hot.
- Quickly add the butter, vanilla, and baking soda. The baking soda will cause the mixture to lighten and foam up. Don't freak out, it's supposed to do that. Stir well.
- Pour on the prepared aluminum foil. Spread thin and allow to cool.
- Break into pieces and enjoy.
