Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 c Sugar 1 ea To 1-1/2 cup unsalted

-unsweetened chocolate

Melt 1 cup sugar in a 10" heavy skillet over medium high heat,
stirring constantly until it liquefies and is light brown or amber in
color. Remove from heat just long enough to add 1/2 cup milk, a few
drops at a time at first, stirring vigorously as mixture bubbles up.
Return to heat and add remaining 2 cups sugar, sifted with cocoa and

heat; mix in peanuts and vanilla. Let stand 15 minutes to cool
slightly, then stir until mixture begins to thicken. Pour at once

that peanuts stand out. Store in covered container, in refrigerator
or freezer. Makes about 72 pieces or 2 pounds. From: Homemade Candy,
