2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
1 c. water
3 c. dry roasted mixed nuts
2 tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda

Butter a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan. Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in a large heavy saucepan. Cover; heat to boiling. Uncover and cook rapidly to 236 degrees on a candy thermometer. (A teaspoon of syrup dropped in cold water will form a very hard ball. Stir in butter; continue cooking at 300 degrees on candy thermometer. A teaspoon of syrup dropped into cold water will separate into threads that are hard and brittle.) Remove from heat.

Stir in vanilla, sprinkle soda over top quickly then stir vigorously about 15 seconds or until mixture is puffy. Pour into prepared pan at once. Cool completely. Break into bite size pieces. Makes 2 pounds.
