2 cups white sugar
1 cup light Karo corn syrup
1 cup butter
2 cups thin cream or 3 cups milk (you can use evaporated milk)
8 oz puffed wheat cereal
1 1/2 cups Spanish peanuts
Boil sugar, corn syrup, butter, and cream until firm ball stage (244 degrees). Pour over cereal and peanuts. Mix until well coated. Press into a baking sheet.
This is my grandma's recipe. I have never met anyone outside of my family that has heard of this. It has become my favorite Christmas treat. You need to use the puffed wheat that does not have a sugar coating. It has become harder and harder to find. 8 ounces does not sound like a lot of cereal but it is really light.
