Check temperature with thermometer several times during the last few minutes. (Do not leave thermometer in oven while cooking.) Stir in butter, baking soda and vanilla just until light and bubbly. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet. Spread. Cool and break into pieces. Makes 1 1/4 pounds. Note: You may use either light or dark corn syrup.
