Peanut Butter Shale

By RoketJSquerl

To me, it tasted sort of like the inside of a Butterfingers candy bar, with the peanut flavor and shattery texture.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with a Silpat, or butter the baking sheet.

In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, combine the water, sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil.

Stir occasionally until the sugar melts, then stir more frequently until the mixture comes up to a temperature of 305 degrees.



Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and baking soda, and stir quickly to combine. The mixture will foam up. Pour immediately on the prepared pan, trying to spread it out evenly.



Allow the candy to cool completely, then break it into pieces.
