"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

1. Spray a large sheet pan with nonstick baking spray. In a large, heavy stockpot over medium heat combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and cayenne. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

2. Clip a thermometer on the side of the pot and boil mixture without stirring until temperature reaches 300º F.

3. Immediately remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle baking soda over the syrup and stir. The contents will bubble vigorously. Stir in peanuts.

5. Cool completely and break into pieces.
