Peanut Patties!!

My mom got me into this one! She made it (with my sisters and I) for Christmas a few years back. I will never forget that day! We had a blast in the kitchen.

Well this year I decided to try it on my own! So far so good. I'm just waiting for it to set! I can taste it already!

If you like those store bought red peanut patties, you'll love this! It's better just because it's homemade and fresh!!! YUM!

Hi Madalena!

They look so scrumptious. But you didn't give us the recipe, girl! What were you thinking to tempt us with such a delicious idea and not tell us how to make it? :-)

If you've got a minute to share the recipe, please do.

I especially like the fact that you have such wonderful memories of time spent with family associated with making this yummy candy treat.

Good candy is great, but the loving memories are priceless.

Thanks,
Angie

Here's the recipe!
by: Madalena

Hello all! Sorry I forgot the recipe, what was I thinking?! :)

2 1/2c sugar
2/3c white syrup
1c evaporated milk (undiluted)
3 1/2c peanuts
1 tbsp. margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
red food coloring

Combine sugar, syrup, milk and peanuts over low heat. Stir occasionally and cook until soft ball stage (234-238F). Cooking time will be at least an hour and a half.

Remove from heat and add margarine, vanilla and food coloring. Stir until creamy. Spread into buttered pan and cool!

Enjoy :)

Hey, Where are you exactly. I just happen to live in Pueblo West. I a m going to try your recipe for red peanut patties. I am from Texas and my mom has been looking for some "good" peanut patties. Wish me luck.

I'm sure you'll love them!

I'm in Pueblo West as well, but in the process of moving back to NM. This recipe is yummy, you and your family will love them! Although I had to reboil the batch for another hour. The first time it didn't set up right. Let me know how it comes out for you. Enjoy!

dropping by spoon
by: Anonymous

I was just wondering if you could drop the patties by spoon on wax paper instead of putting in a pan.

I'm sure you could!
by: Lena

I'm sure you could drop by spoon full onto waxed paper. I never thought to do it that way, being that we always did it as I showed (in the cookie sheet pan). Although (depending on thickness) it may take longer to set up, but should be fine!
If you try it let me know how it works! :)

Peanut Patties with a twist. :)
by: Angie

It seems to me that dropping the peanut patty mixture by spoonfuls would work. I haven't tried it personally, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Why not give it a try and let us know how they turn out for you?! :)
