"These sweet morsels will remind you of pralines--"2 cups granulated sugar
1 (5-1/3 ounce) can evaporated milk (2/3 cup)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan, combine granulated sugar, milk, corn syrup, and salt. cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to boiling. Clip candy thermometer to side of pan and continue cooking to 234 degrees F. (soft-ball stage), stirring occasionally. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well. Stir in peanuts. Quickly drop by tablespoonfuls onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. If candy becomes too stiff to drop from a spoon, stir in a few dros of hot water.--Diana Best, Lubbock, Tex.
Makes about 36 patties.
