- 1/4 c water
- 1 1/4 c salted roasted peanuts
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet, with aluminum foil. Apply a layer of butter to it. Place the baking sheet in the oven to warm up.
- In a saucepan mix together 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 1/4 cup of water. Stir the mixture frequently until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Add 1 1/4 cups of salted peanuts into the boiling mixture. Keep stirring constantly while cooking until the temperature reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the saucepan from heat promptly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of softened butter along with 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Expect a foaming reaction, from the mixture.
