Directions:
Mix soda and butter and set aside. Butter a large cookie sheet. Mix sugar, salt, Karo & water in a pan and cook on high heat until sugar dissolves. Continue to boil until syrup spins a thread. Dip in spoon and hold it up to drizzle, at the end a fine thread will appear. It's time to add the peanuts and stir until they begin to pop and the syrup will turn an amber color. Now add the butter and soda mixture and stir slightly- keeping the bubbles. Quickly pour out on a buttered cookie sheet. Do not spread. Let cool and crack into small pieces. Store in a covered container.
