- 3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup white Karo® syrup
- 3/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup Pet® milk
- 2 or 2 1/2 cup raw peanuts
- 1 stick margarine
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 tsp vanilla
- 2 drops red food coloring
Mix sugar, Karo®, milk, and water in a heavy saucepan; when it begins to boil, add peanuts and red food coloring. Cook, stirring until it forms a very hard stage (260 degrees on candy thermometer); take off fire.
Add butter, salt, and vanilla. Stir until the butter is mixed well with candy. Stir a little longer, then pour on large cookie sheet greased with butter. Let cool and break into pieces.
