Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups white sugar
⅔ cup light corn syrup
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon butter
3 cups raw peanuts
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 dash red food coloring

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 image

This is one of my husbands favorite candies. For years we bought them whenever we could find them.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 c sugar
2/3 c light karo
1 c milk
2 1/2 c raw peanuts (16 oz. bag)
4 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 c powdered sugar
4 OR 5 drops red food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. Place the first four items in a heavy saucepan. Stir to combine.
  • 2. Bring to a boil and continue cooking on a low boil, uncovered, for approx one hour until soft ball stage (235-240*), stirring occasionally.
  • 3. While cooking, prepare a spot on your counter top with waxed paper to drop candy on.
  • 4. At soft ball stage, remove from heat and add margarine/butter stirring until melted.
  • 5. Add powdered sugar, sifting if needed, and red coloring. (I use extra for more color)
  • 6. Stir to combine well. Keep stirring until it just starts to thicken.
  • 7. 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.
  • 8. 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.
  • 9. ENJOY

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: This will help you get uniform-sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: They should be just set around the edges with a slightly soft center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Mom's peanut patties are a classic cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The creamy peanut butter filling pairs perfectly with the chocolate cookie crust. These cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
