3 c. sugar
1 c. white Karo
1/2 c. water
3 c. raw Spanish peanuts (2 pkg. or more)
3 tsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda

Boil sugar, Karo and water until thread spins. Add peanuts and stir continuously after peanuts are added; cook until it turns a brownish gold (takes about 20 minutes). Take from stove. Add butter, salt and soda.

Pour onto buttered platters to cool. (Use a large container because when the soda is added, it will bubble up; also a large, buttered cookie sheet is good to use to pour it on. It will take more than one, maybe a large platter also.) Pour it up while it is still bubbling. (Do not spread; it needs to have the air bubbles in it.)
