Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1/4 cup, plus 1 teaspoon water
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups peanuts raw or roasted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a double boiler heat the peanut butter keeping it warm until needed. In a large sauce pan combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over high heat to 275°F, lower the heat to medium, add butter, stirring until melted. Add the peanuts and continue to stir until the candy starts turning brown and reaches 300°F ( about 5 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in baking soda that has been dissolved in a teaspoon of water along with the vanilla. Working quickly, fold in the warm peanut butter until well blended. Pour the candy onto a marble slab or greased cookie sheet spreading it 1/4 to 12 inch thick. Break into pieces after it has cooled
