1 c. peanuts, shelled
2 c. sugar
1 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt

Toast peeled peanuts until light brown. Grind. Put sugar and water in a saucepan or copper vat and cook into a thick syrup. Add the ground peanuts, vanilla and salt and continue cooking until a little amount hardens when dropped in a saucer of water. Remove from fire and using a rolling pin, flatten thin on a slightly greased cookie pan. Cut while still warm into desired shapes. Wrap in waxed paper.
