quart saucepan over medium heat, heat to boiling sugar, corn syrup, salt and
water, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy
thermometer in place and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until
temperature reaches 300 degrees F or until a small amount of mixture dropped
into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads. Remove from heat;
immediately stir in butter or margarine and baking soda; pour at once onto
