A tried and true recipe from Better Homes and Gardens cookbook copywrite 1965.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in heavy skillet. Cook slowly, stirring till sugar dissolves. Cook to soft-ball stage (240 F degrees). You can either use a candy thermometer or test a few drops in cold water.
Add peanuts and salt. Cook to hard-crack stage (300 F degrees), stirring constantly. (Remove candy from heat if testing drops in cold water.) Add butter and soda; stir to blend. (Mixture will bubble.)
Pour onto buttered large cookie sheets. Cool partially by lifting around edges with spatula. Keep spatula moving under mixture so it won't stick. When firm but still warm; pull edges to make a brittle thinner in center. Break in pieces when cold.
