Butter two cookie sheets (15 1/2" x 12") and keep warm. Mix baking soda with the 1 teaspoon of water and vanilla - set aside. Mix sugar, 1 cup water and the corn syrup in a 3 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring constantly to 300 degrees on the candy thermometer (watch closely so mixture doesn't burn). Immediately remove from heat; stir in baking soda mixture. Pour half of the candy mixture onto each cookie sheet and spread about 1/4" thick. Cool and break into pieces. Makes approximately 2 lbs. of candy.
