Keep sugar grains off the sides of the kettle. When at softball stage (240º), add peanuts. Stir constantly to keep peanuts from burning. At 320º-340º, it will suddenly turn brown. Remove from heat. Add butter, salt, soda and vanilla. Stir until butter is melted. Pour a thin layer on buttered surface. Run a spatula under it to let air under. Just as soon as possible, flip it over. Stretch out and break. Work fast.
