- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, vanilla pudding mix, and evaporated milk. Stir frequently to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Add Flavor:
- After 5 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Beat and Incorporate:
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about a minute, then beat it vigorously for 3 minutes until it thickens.
Add Peanuts:
- Once the mixture has thickened, gently fold in the Spanish peanuts until they are evenly distributed.
Form Patties:
- Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper. Leave enough space between each spoonful to allow the patties to set without touching each other.
Allow to Harden:
- Let the peanut patties cool and harden at room temperature. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Storage:
- Once the patties have hardened, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for several days.
