INSTRUCTIONS
If it is raining wait for another day
or it well not set right even in an air conditioned house

Prepare two well-buttered 13X11 or larger Pans before cooking.

Measure these in seperate containers and set aside before starting.
3 cups raw peanuts (Room temperature, frozen will keep the peanuts from cooking) It is the raw peanuts that gives the most flavor
1 Teaspoon of salt
2 Tablespoon Butter cut into quarters
2 Teaspoons of baking soda

You needed a big pot (Use a 4 quart or larger) When it boils, it foams up high.

2 cups Turbinado sugar or Raw sugar (This is the secret ingredient.)
1 cup plain white sugar
1/2 cup white Karo
1/2 cup dark Karo
1/2 cup water

Boil sugar, Karo and water to 250 degrees Fahrenheit with the burner set between medium and medium high heat in a big pot stir often and watch out for boiling over. If the foam gets to high, keep stirring to knock it but remove from heat if it gets away from you. When it gets to 250 F add peanuts and salt reducing the heat to medium and stir regularly after peanuts are added to cook the peanuts evenly. Cook until temperature reaches 300F degrees. The mix will foam quickly be ready to pour. Take from burner; add butter then mix well then add soda mixing with a few quick turns of the spoon. Pour into pans. Shuffle the pans just a little after pouring. It should settle down so donýt worry to much about how flat it is.
