Directions

Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
If the temperature indicated is not reached, candy will either be too soft and sticky, or too hard—even if it's off by a few degrees!
Quickly stir in vanilla, butter, and peanuts until butter has melted. Remove from heat and carefully stir in baking soda; mixture will change colors and bubble. Once evenly combined, pour an even mixture onto prepared sheet pan; sprinkle with kosher salt. Cool completely and break into large pieces.
