I made these nuts for my aunt's birthday, and everybody loved them. I've also given them as Christmas gifts.Gail McClantoc, Sweet Water, Alabama Ingredients:
2 teaspoons butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup brewed coffee |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 jar (16 ounces) dry roasted peanuts |
Directions:
1. Butter two baking sheets with the 2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, coffee, corn syrup and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 234°-240° (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Add peanuts; stir quickly.
2. Pour onto prepared baking sheets. Quickly separate into small clumps with two forks. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 6 cups.
