2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Use a Candy Thermometer to check the temp as it is cooking, you can get the ones that clip to the side of you pan that you are cooking in...
  • 2. Lightly butter a cookie sheet. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup with ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture reaches the soft crack stage (250°). Add the butter and pinions. Return to the heat and cook to the hard crack stage (295°). Remove from the heat. Stir in the baking soda.
