3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cocoa
1/4 c. white Karo syrup
2/3 c. milk
3 tbsp. butter
6 tbsp. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar, cocoa, Karo syrup and milk in a heavy boiler. Bring to a boil; turn to medium heat and continue boiling for approximately 5 minutes, until a small amount dropped in cold water forms a soft ball. Remove from heat; stir in butter, peanut butter and vanilla. Beat until candy begins to stiffen. Pour into a buttered dish.

In honor of Michael and Seth Howe.
