1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups corn syrup
2 cups sunflower seeds, raw
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda

Remove from the heat; vigorously stir in vanilla and baking soda.
Pour into a buttered 15x10x1 baking pan; spread evenly to fill pan. Cool completely.
Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers to prevent sticking.
