Instructions
- Grease a 13x9 or slightly bigger baking tray or pan with butter.
- Combine sugar, salt, water, corn syrup, and butter in a large heavy bottom saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat stirring frequently until it becomes bubbly and reaches 120°C /250°F. If sugar crystal forms on the sides of the pan, just brush it with water.
- Add the peanuts and, stirring constantly, let it cook for another 10 minutes or until temperature reaches 150°C/302°F.
- Once temperature is reached, remove from heat and immediately add baking soda and vanilla extract. It will foam up and change in color but just keep on mixing.
- While still hot, pour the mixture to the greased pan. and using a spatula, spread evenly. You may sprinkle a few pieces of rock salt if you like. Let it cool completely.
- Turn the whole thing over a clean surface and break it apart into smaller pieces using a mallet or your hands.
- Store in an airtight containers.
Notes
- NOTE 1 - You may use a little as 1 teaspoon of baking soda but if you want it to be more porous then use 2 to 3 teaspoons. I used 2 for this recipe.
