This is the hard crack stage or 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Check temperature with thermometer several times during the last few minutes. (Do not leave thermometer in oven when 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.
