Peanut Pattie Candy
3 cups white sugar
1 cup water
1 cup light corn syrup (Karo)
1 pound raw peanuts
1/4 teaspoon red food color
1/4 cup butter or margarine
pinch of salt
Bring sugar, water and syrup to a boil. Add peanuts and coloring. Cook until hard boil stage.
Remove from heat. Add butter and salt. Beat until mixture is too thick to beat. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet.
Note: You can either drop this by the spoonfuls, or take the easy route and pour the whole thing onto the cookie sheet and break into pieces when it is cool.
