Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3 Tbs. water
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with a Silpat liner.
- In a copper pot over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and vanilla. Stir until the mixture starts to boil. Cover and boil for 3 minutes. Uncover and brush the inside of the pan with cold water. Cook until a candy thermometer registers 280ºF, 12 to 15 minutes more.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, stirring until it melts. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 300ºF, 7 to 10 minutes.
