Pay Day Candy Bar,In December of 1996, Hershey Foods snagged the U.S. operations of Leaf Brands for a pretty penny. This added several well known candies to Hershey’s already impressive roster, including Good & Plenty, Jolly Rancher, Milk Duds, Whoppers, Heath, and this delicious peanut roll, which we can finally clone at home. The center is sort of a white fudge that we can make by combining a few ingredients on the stove, then getting the mixture up to just the right temperature using a candy thermometer (you’ve got one, right?). Once cool, this candy center is coated with a thin layer of caramel, then quickly pressed onto roasted peanuts. Looks just like the real thing! This recipe will make eight candy bars. But it’s up to you to make the dental appointment,It tastes good but the centers are way too soft. Next time I will cook the center mixture to 235 degrees and see if that makes a difference.,I could never get the center to firm up. used a candy themometer I added another 1/4 cup of powdered sugar after the candy did not firm up. This helped some but still never thickened enough to roll. The flavor is excellent. Can you help me on the next batch?
