Servings: 16 servings
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

- 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.
