<<what is a peanut patty?>>

It is a brittle candy, very hard, with peanuts in it. If you give me your
address, I will mail you some. It's quite inexpensive. The brownish ones
are VERY hard and the pink ones are just hard. I'm not sure how the
color/hardness relate. I don't like peanuts and so have never eaten it
much. It seems to be something everyone here in Texas LOVES so it's
everywhere and frankly I had no idea it was a regional thing. We have
friends in Wisconsin and cheese curds seem to be the same kinda thing for
them. >>
I have no idea of what a peanut patty is, but what Uther is describing is
home made peanut brittle. Very simply, a hard, sugar candy poured over
shelled, roasted, salted peanuts and allowed to cool. There are several
variations, and methods of cooking it. Some recipes include baking powder or
soda to make it bubbly, some use dark corn syrup, some white. Give me a
little time and I'll post some recipes.
