  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
  4. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup chow mein noodles.
  5. Grease a baking sheet lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Let the candies cool and set completely at room temperature before serving.
