There was a candy co., "Tom's," in the South that made these wonderful pink peanut patties. This recipe tastes just as yummy!_x000D_ It's the raw peanuts --they're not cooked to roasted stage._x000D_ I adapted the recipe from stove-top directions back in the late 60's._x000D_ It's so easy my sons made it, too, as kids. _x000D_ No scorching, no continuous stirring: let the microwave work for you. _x000D_ I use a 2-qt. glass measuring cup with handle, a wooden spoon for stirring and have a glass lid that fits. The handle helps when the candy hits over 200* _x000D_ The cooling pad of waxed paper over newspaper keeps the wax from sticking to your counter top. Time numbers in brackets are for double batch. _x000D_ See the companion recipe for Pecan Pralines. Both are great for gifts!
