Red Peanut Pattie Candy image

I tried another peanut pattie candy and it turned out like peanut brittle. So this sent me on a mission to find another one. I just found this recipe. And am going to try this over the weekend. I will let you know of my Success. I got this recipe from a website called Taste of Home (from Evelyn).

Mix well and add the peanuts and cook slowly stirring until a small amount forms a soft ball.Remove from heat and add the butter,vanilla and food color. Beat until mixture gets creamy and pour on cookie sheet to form into patties. Can be poured into muffen tins to about 1/4 inch thick to make thick sides.
  • This recipe was given to me by a very dear friend Barbara Stearns. This was a family recipe , one of several she gave me. These tast just like the ones from the store if you can find them. Any peanuts will work in theis but the small white ones are what are the best to use if you can find them. Enjoy and feel free to pass this recipe on to some one else.

  • Again this recipe is from another site. So I think that the soft ball is from a candy thermometer. :).
