Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in 3-qt saucepan. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves. When syrup boils, blend in butter. Stir frequently after mixture reaches the syrup stage 230 F. Add nuts when the temperature reaches soft-crack stage 280 F. and stir constantly until temperature reaches the hard-crack stage 305 F. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in soda, mixing thoroughly. Pour onto two cookie sheets or two 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-in pans. As the candy cools, stretch it out thin by lifting and pulling from edges, using two forks. Loosen from pans as soon as possible; turn candy over. Break in pieces. |
