Mix syrup, water, sugar together in a pot over medium to medium high heat. Boil and stir until all the water is done (the mix will spin a fine thread when dropped off a spoon)
Add butter and peanuts, stir constantly until the mix reaches the hard crack stage. (a drop of mix dropped in a cup of water will crunch when bitten)

HINTS: Have salt and soda ready, add and stir. The mix will bubble pour and cool as fast as possible to trap the bubbles.
The hotter the temperature is the faster it cooks. If you cook it to long it will burn, if not long enough it will be chewy instead of crunchy.
