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

PEANUT PATTIES
Peanut patties are like peanut brittle's Southern cousin. This recipe is from one of our favorite cookbooks, Texas Home Cooking, by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison.

Steps:
- Preparation: Lay a large piece of waxed paper on a dishtowel on a counter. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, peanuts, corn syrup and water. Stirring constantly over medium heat, cook the mixture to the high end of the soft ball stage, 235°F. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the remaining ingredients, adding enough food coloring to get a vibrant red shade. Stir the mixture frequently for approximately 20 minutes, or until it cools to about 125°F. The mixture will become very thick and creamy opaque, and the peanuts will be suspended. Immediately spoon out the mixture in patties, the larger the better. Let the patties sit for at least 1 hour before eating them. Their texture should be chewy like nougat rather than creamy like praline. Wrap them individually for storage. They'll keep a week.

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.

Tips:
- To make the peanut butter filling extra smooth, use a high-quality peanut butter and cream it with the butter until it is light and fluffy.
- If the peanut butter mixture is too thick to handle, add a little more cream or milk until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
- To make the chocolate coating smooth and shiny, use a good quality chocolate and temper it before dipping the peanut butter balls.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it is tempered by dipping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately and snaps when you break it, it is tempered.
- To make the peanut patties easier to dip, chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes before dipping them in the chocolate.
- If you are having trouble getting the chocolate to stick to the peanut butter balls, try using a fork to dip them instead of your fingers.
- Store the peanut patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Peanut patties are a classic candy that is easy to make and always a hit. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of delicious peanut patties that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a sweet treat to enjoy at home or a gift to give to friends and family, peanut patties are sure to please everyone.
