In large kettle or dutch oven boil: sugar, water, syrup and butter, until it makes a long thick thread and in cold water makes a hard ball. Add peanuts; cook slowly until peanuts are done. Stir often as this takes about 30 minutes.

Then cook rapidly; brown syrup to an amber color; stir and do not allow to burn. Turn fire off; add soda and vanilla; mix rapidly and pour onto cookie sheets at once. The thinner the better, but move quickly.
