1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons melted paraffin
2 cups raw, shelled peanuts with skins
1 teaspoon baking soda

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Add paraffin, then peanuts, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a low boil and cook about 25 minutes or until peanuts softly “pop” and sugar mixture is browned to desired level. Remove from heat and add baking soda, stirring well. Pour onto a marble slab or baking sheet and spread to desired thickness. Cool completely. Break into pieces and serve.
