Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare your canvas: Lightly grease a cookie sheet or a similar flat surface. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Combine the base: In a 2-quart glass measuring cup, blend water, sugar, and corn syrup. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Microwave to perfection: Microwave on high until the mixture begins to boil. Then, stir in the peanuts. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Achieve soft-ball stage: Continue to microwave on medium power until the mixture reaches a temperature between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C). Test by dropping a small amount into cold water; it should form a soft ball that flattens when removed. (8-12 minutes)

05

Step

Enhance and finish: Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if using). Beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and starts to cool slightly. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Form the patties: Drop the mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Let them set: Allow the patties to cool completely and firm up before serving. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use salted peanuts.
Be cautious when working with hot sugar syrup to avoid burns.
The soft-ball stage is crucial for the right texture; use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
If you don't have food coloring, the patties will taste just as good without it.
