SODA BOIL SUGAR, SYRUP AND WATER UNTIL HARD BALL FORMS OR TO 250 ON CANDY THERMOMETER. ADD PEANUTS AND BUTTER. STIRRING CONTINUOUSLY AFTER PEANUTS ARE ADDED. COOL UNTIL IT TURNS A LIGHT GOLDEN COLOR. REMOVE FROM HEAT AND ADD VANILLA AND SODA. STIR QUICKLY AND POUR ONTO A GREASED COOKIE SHEET. I POUR MINE INTO TWO BATCHES . AFTER IT STARTS TO COOL, TAKE A KNIFE AND RUN AROUND EDGES AS YOU PULL THE CANDY . CONTINUE DOING SO UNTIL YOU USE YOUR HANDS AND STRETCH IT. THIS MAKES IT THINNER AND CRISPER.

bulletbox bulletbox trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 1658 Loc: Robert Lee, TEXAS	OLEO = Margarine This is my Grandmother's recipe, and I forget that some folks don't know what they called margarine before it was margarine... and yes Newt, soda = baking soda.. I guess I should have looked it over better, but I know what it means... sort of like proof reading something, and missing a word here and there... _________________________ Good Luck and God Bless you and yours, bulletbox, TEXAS 50, old enough to know better, but still to young to care......

I will check and if it is different I will post mine. _________________________ Handle every stressful situation like a dog: If you can't eat it or hump it, Wizz on it and walk away.

bulletbox bulletbox trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 1658 Loc: Robert Lee, TEXAS	If you can get your hands on some Mexican vanilla, it sure makes it better, any brand will do... I like the wang that stuff gives candy and ice cream... In fact that is the only vanilla we use now.... _________________________ Good Luck and God Bless you and yours, bulletbox, TEXAS 50, old enough to know better, but still to young to care......
