This is basically the recipe found in 'Joy of Cookin', with hab powder
added.

Disolve 2c. sugar in 1c. boiling water, add 1c. corn syrup, cook to
hard-ball stage (250F).

Add 2c. raw peanuts (I get them at the local thai shop), 1 tsp. salt, and
1tsp. +- powdered hab (I make my own).

Cook to hard crack stage (295F), stirring often.

Remove from heat.

Add 3 tbsp. butter, 1/4 tsp soda, 1 tsp. vanilla.

Pour on buttered cookie sheet and spread.

Pull to desired thinness.

This has proved to be quite popular, even with those not used to habs.
