• 1-1/3 cups white corn syrup
• 1-1/3 cups water
• 3 cups water (for testing crack stage)
• 3 cups raw peanuts
• 1 tbl. butter
• 1 tsp. soda
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Stir sugar, corn syrup and 1-1/3 cup water until it boils. Cook until it cracks when dropped into 3 cups of cold water. Drop in peanuts and cook until the peanuts are parched. Mix soda and vanilla and add to the hot mixture. Stir well and pour onto a buttered cookie sheet.

Notes:
