 1 cup white sugar
   1 cup white sugar
   1/2 cup light corn syrup
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   1/4 cup water
   1 cup peanuts
   2 tablespoons butter, softened
   1 teaspoon baking soda
1.	Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside. 
2.	In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads.
