Peanut Patties image

This came from my Nanny's collection. I think it is from a neighbor that made AMAZING candy. In TX the weather has to be just right for candy making. I have made this twice so far and out of 2 times got it perfect once.

1 cup milk
2/3 cup corn syrup
2 cups peanuts, raw
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 drops red food coloring

  • I typed as it was written in her file from her friend. I used direct heat the whole time and had to beat for quite a while to get it thick enough to drop into patties. These taste amazing- but are a lot of effort. My Papa's favorite candy, mine too ! Good old fashioned candy !
