Shell one-half pound of peanuts. Be sure to remove the skins also. Chop the nuts into small pieces and put them into the oven to dry. Melt two ounces of butter and when melted add a half-pound of brown sugar. Boil over a good hot fire. Test by dropping some of it into cold water until brittle. When it has reached that stage, let it continue boiling a few minutes more until it commences to turn a brown color, then take it off the fire at once, add the peanuts, and pour into a shallow pan, well greased, to cool. While still warm cut into lozenges, and leave stand until hardened.
