Ingredients

2 cups - Sugar
⅔ cups - Light corn syrup
½ cups - Water
1 lb - Shelled Salted Peanuts
1 tsp - Baking Soda

Instructions

Prepare a large (10"x15") rimmed cookie sheet by covering it in butter.
Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a large heavy saucepan.
Cook the mixture at medium heat until it reaches hard crack stage (300℉) according to a candy thermometer.
Reduce heat to low and add peanuts, cooking slowly for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Increase the heat to medium during the last 2 minutes of cooking to give the candy a golden color.
Right before removing from the heat, add the baking soda and combine well.
Pour the mixture carefully onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread evenly.
Let it cool completely (for at least one hour) and then break it into bite-sized pieces.
