    Step2

    Heat the mixture to 285 degrees, stirring continuously.

    Step3

    Next, add 16 ounces of peanuts and 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring constantly until the candy thermometer reads 295 degrees.

    Step4

    Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Mix quickly.
