seen a formula like it anyplace else. My auntie was caring enough to send me photos of a portion of her transcribed plans so I can impart them to my children and with my companions here on the blog. Grandmother Wanda's shelled nut weak is extremely simple to make and ideal for hand crafted Christmas gifting.
For this formula, you'll need a treat thermometer (I like the benevolent that clasp to the side of the pot), an enormous overwhelming bottomed pot and a buttered sheet skillet.
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 3 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of light corn syrup
- 1 cup of water
- 1 stick of unsalted butter 8 tablespoons, cubed
- 3 cups of dry roasted peanuts one pound
- Prepare an 18x13 baking sheet by greasing with butter and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix baking soda, salt and vanilla extract and set aside.
- In a large heavy bottomed pot, combine sugar, corn syrup and water.
- With a heat proof spoon or spatula, stir mixture constantly over very high heat until it reaches 240 degrees on candy thermometer.
- Add peanuts and continue stirring until mixture reaches 320 degrees on candy thermometer.
- Remove mixture from heat and stir in butter until melted.
- Stir in baking soda mixture. It will be foamy, stir until combined.
- Pour mixture onto baking sheet and let set until hard.
- Break into pieces.
