My mother makes this all the time. When I was a little girl, she would make it Christmas eve. The smell, for me, is what Christmas should smell like. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1/3 cup cocoa |
2/3 cup milk |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1 dash salt |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar, cocoa, milk, syrup, and salt in a heavy, deep pot.
2. Turn to high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When the mixture is at a rolling boil, turn down to medium and cook until soft ball stage or 236°F.
3. Stirring constantly once it's at the right temperature, remove from heat, add the butter, peanut butter and vanilla; stir until well mixed.
4. Quickly pour into an 8x8 square pan that has been buttered. Allow to cool before cutting.
5. If you like nuts, you may add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or peanuts when you add butter, peanut butter and vanilla.
