My mom got this recipe years ago from someone she worked with...she made it at Christmas and holidays quite a bit. I have never made it, but I know it tastes yummy!! If you like alot of peanuts to candy ratio, use the whole 1 1/2 cups peanuts (or more if you like)...it's purely personal preference! Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1 cup white light corn syrup |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 -1 1/2 cup raw spanish peanut |
Directions:
1. Stir syrup, water and sugar together in large, heavy pan to hard ball stage (250*F- 265*F- A little of this syrup dropped into cold water will form a hard ball).
2. Stir in butter and peanuts until golden brown.
3. Stir in vanilla and soda.
4. Pour into 2 buttered pizza pans, just shaking pan to even out mixture.
5. Cool and break into pieces.
