• This recipe was given to me by a very dear friend Barbara Stearns. This was a family recipe , one of several she gave me. These tast just like the ones from the store if you can find them. Any peanuts will work in theis but the small white ones are what are the best to use if you can find them. Enjoy and feel free to pass this recipe on to some one else.

• Again this recipe is from another site. So I think that the soft ball is from a candy thermometer. :).

PEANUT PATTIES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, and peanuts. Bring to a slow boil, and stir to blend once heated. Let boil until the mixture reaches a temperature of between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. This may take up to 1 hour.
• Stir in the butter, vanilla and food coloring once the mixture has reached the proper temperature. Spoon out onto waxed paper or parchment paper to form patties. Cool until set.

RED PEANUT PATTIES

Steps:

• Place the first four items in a heavy saucepan. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil and continue cooking on a low boil, uncovered, for approx one hour until soft ball stage (235-240*), stirring occasionally.
• While cooking, prepare a spot on your counter top with waxed paper to drop candy on.
• At soft ball stage, remove from heat and add margarine/butter stirring until melted.
• Add powdered sugar, sifting if needed, and red coloring. (I use extra for more color)
• Stir to combine well. Keep stirring until it just starts to thicken.
• Quickly drop by spoonfulls onto waxed paper. The nuts should be flat, not in a pile. If candy starts to get too thick, just place pan back on heat to warm slightly.
• Depending on your preference, they can be any size you like. I prefer to eat several that are 2" across. Bobby likes bigger ones. Your choice will always be right.
