Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/2 tsp butter
2-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups salted peanuts
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Grease a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with butter; set aside. Combine the peanut butter, peanuts and vanilla; set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Immediately stir in peanut butter mixture and baking soda. Spread into prepared pan. Cool completely.
Break candy into pieces. Melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Drizzle over candy. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3-1/2 pounds.
