1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbl. butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup whipping cream

Lightly butter a cookie sheet and set aside. Stir together the cocoa and baking soda; add the butter to this and set aside. In a medium saucepan stir together the suger, corn syrup, and whipping cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.

Add the peanuts, and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F. on your candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add the cocoa mixture, stirring well.
