•    2 cup sugar
•    1 tablespoon butter
•    1 cup white Karo syrup
•    1 cup raw peanuts, or washed spanish peanuts
•    2/3 cup water
•    2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Boil sugar, syrup, and water to a hard ball stage.  Add nuts and cook until very hard.  Add butter and soda.  Beat a little by hand.  Spread on a greased plate or cookie sheet.  Pick up edges of candy and turn over when cool enough to handle.  Cool.  Break in pieces.  I usually just pick it up a little above pan and drop.  Then break up large pieces.
