Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
2 cups salted peanuts
2 to 2 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Directions:
Directions:
Combine sugar and water in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat.

Spoon hot sugar syrup up the sides of the pan to wash down sugar crystals thoroughly.

Stir in corn syrup. Cook to hard crack stage, 300 to 310 degrees.

Meanwhile, mix peanuts, peanut butter and vanilla. Warm slightly in microwave.

Remove syrup from heat; Stir in soda.

At once add peanut butter mixture.

Pour onto greased cookie sheet; quickly spread with a fork.

Notes:
Be prepared for the mixture to bubble and foam up after the baking soda is added to the hot syrup.

•Mix in the soda thoroughly, but add the peanut butter mixture quickly after. You may want to have someone help you, so you can combine it quickly. Stir the mixture just enough to thoroughly incorporate and then spread onto the pan.

•Warming the peanut butter mixture slightly (such as in the microwave on the defrost cycle) helps achieve the flakier texture.
