Instructions
- Grease your mini-muffin pan with butter and set aside.
- In a small, heavy bottomed saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Attach your candy thermometer to the side of your saucepan so it touches the syrup mixture.
- Turn the heat on to medium-high and stir the mixture until the sugar is totally dissolved!
- Once mixture is gently boiling add butter. Stir frequently. The syrup mixture will become a golden color and very thick, about 20 minutes. The thermometer should read 280 degrees.
- Add peanuts and stir constantly until the thermometer reads 305 degrees.
- Remove your saucepan from the heat. Quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla.
- Carefully spoon the hot mixture into your prepared pan. Allow to cool on your counter. Remove bites from the pan and enjoy!
