How to Make Peanut Patties

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup peanut butter.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for exactly 1 hour, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. A candy thermometer is recommended to ensure the mixture reaches the correct temperature (approximately 240°F/116°C).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of red food coloring (optional).
  5. Immediately pour the mixture into a well-buttered 12-cup muffin tin. Allow to cool completely and set for at least 2-3 hours.
  6. Once completely set, gently remove the peanut patties from the muffin tin. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
