Coffee Peanut Fudge
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Coffee, | 1 cup |
| (Not too strong, and strain through cheesecloth.) | |
| Butter, | 2 tablespoons |
| Peanuts (shelled), | ½ cup |
Betsey shelled the peanuts while the sugar, coffee and butter boiled until a little of the syrup dropped in cold water formed a soft ball. Then she removed the saucepan from the fire, stood it in a pan of cold water, added the peanuts, beat the fudge until it became thick, poured it quickly into the buttered pan and marked in squares.
