## :pencil: Instructions

### Step 1

Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.

### Step 2

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt to a boil. Stir until sugar is
dissolved. Stir in peanuts.

### Step 3

Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking. Stir frequently until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), or
until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads.

### Step 4

Remove from heat; immediately stir in softened butter and baking soda; pour at once onto the 13" x 18" rimmed baking
sheet. With two forks, lift and pull peanut mixture into a rectangle, about 14x12 inches; cool.

### Step 5

Snap candy into pieces.
