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. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup milk |
2/3 cup corn syrup |
2 cups peanuts, raw |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
4 drops red food coloring |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, milk & corn syrup on indirect heat- add peanuts-cook until it forms a firm ball in cold water-or hard boil stage. Remove from heat- add butter, vanilla,coloring. Beat until mixture drops from a spoon on buttered sheet.
2. 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 !
