1/3cupCorn Syrup
1/2cupButter1 stick
8ozPeanut Butter
1tspVanilla 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.
