Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Dash salt
1/2 c white corn syrup
1 c sugar
2 c raw peanuts (shelled or not it's up to you)
1/4 c water
1 1/2 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the baking soda in a heavy skillet & cook until the peanuts start to pop & mixture begins to brown. Stir often so all the peanuts cook evenly. On my stove it will cook about 20 minutes on 6 1/2 from the time I turn it on.
  • 2. The peanuts pop open about the time the syrup turns a carmel color. Then take off the heat & add the baking soda. Stir quickly & mix well. Pour & spread out evenly on a greased cookie sheet.
  • 3. When cool break up into pieces as desired. Eat & enjoy!!
