Makin' Candy!

Okay, I surrender.  I couldn't get this posted via iPhone.  But YOU get it the old fashioned way - which I guess is appropriate because we made the candy the old fashioned way!
You start with a deep pot full of sugar, peanuts and water with a dash of salt.  Add a candy thermometer and some steady heat...

Boil it, stirring often, until it starts to turn a rich golden brown and reaches "soft ball" temperature...

Add vanilla extract, stir a few minutes, and pour into a luciously buttered cookie sheet...

Ever done a taffy pull?  Pull off bite-size chunks and wrap in squares of waxed paper!

Then we moved on to making peanut patties...

Not too bad for a day's work, eh?  I made peanut butter fudge the day before and peanut brittle the day after!
