1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup water

1 cup peanuts

2 Tablespoons vegan margarine, softened

1 teaspoon baking soda

 

 

1. Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.

 

2. In a heavy 2 quart/litre saucepan, over medium heat, bring the

sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water to a boil. Stir until sugar is

dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and

continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 F (150

C), or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water

separates into hard and brittle threads.

 

3. Remove from heat; immediately stir in margarine and baking soda;

pour at once onto cookie sheet. With 2 forks, lift and pull peanut

mixture into rectangle about 14 x 12 inches (35 x 30 cm); cool.

 

4. Snap candy into pieces.
