Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray and set it aside. 2. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and molasses in a heavy, large saucepan, and set over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then clip a candy thermometer to the inside of the pan and, without stirring, bring the mixture to 280°F (soft crack). 3.Stir in the butter and vanilla, then the salt and baking soda.
