Ingredients

  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 12 oz Evaporated Milk 1 can
  • 1/3 cup Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Butter 1 stick
  • 8 oz Peanut Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Mix Sugar, Corn Syrup and Evaporated milk in large pan and cook over medium heat.
  • Sir occasionally.
  • Mixture will begin boiling. If it boils too close to top reduce heat slightly.
  • Continue cooking until mixture reaches soft ball stage (230-240 degrees). You can test for this by seeing the syrup forms a ball while in the cold water, but flattens once removed from the water.
  • When it reaches this stage, remove from heat.
  • Take butter and grease inside of glass baking dish.
  • Add remainder of butter and vanilla extract and stir until butter is melted and incorporated.
  • Add peanut butter and continue stirring until mixture start to lose its’ sheen.
  • Then pour into buttered 8X8 (for thick squares) or a 9X9 (for less thick squares) baking dish and allow to cool.

Notes

Use a candy thermometer to ensure it is cooked sufficiently.
