For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Stirring frequently is crucial to ensure even cooking and prevent the sugar from crystallizing. A candy thermometer is highly recommended for accurate temperature measurement. If you don't have one, the cold water test is a reliable alternative. Be careful not to overcook the mixture, as this will result in hard, brittle patties. Store the cooled peanut patties in an airtight container at room temperature.
