In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, and raw peanuts. Cook over medium heat at a slow boil, 235–240 degrees on a candy thermometer, for at least 45 minutes. Stir continuously. The consistency is correct when a drop of the cooked mixture forms into a ball when dropped into a bowl of cold water, or hard-ball stage.
After hard-ball stage has been reached, stir in the butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and 3–4 drops red food coloring. Incorporate well. Spoon patties on parchment or waxed paper to cool.
