A Favorite Candy Recipe

I have a recipe I would like to share with you for my favorite candy. I usually make this at least once a year. I got this recipe from my sister and it is better candy than any you will buy anywhere.

Billie’s Peanut Patties
2 ½ cups sugar
1 cup milk
3 cups raw peanuts
2/3 cup karo syrup
Pinch of salt
Mix and cook to 240*F

Remove from heat and add:
4 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 drops red food color

Beat until creamy and thick. Pour into a pan lined with buttered wax paper.
Note:
The butter and powdered sugar should be measured while the
candy is cooking. The pan should be prepared during this time also.
Let set and harden. Store the candy in an air tight container.
