Homemade Peanut Butter Candy

Combine peanut butter, sugar and salt in a large saucepan (3 quart size).

Add milk gradually; mix thoroughly and bring to a bubbly boil on high heat, stirring continuously.

Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil the mixture without stirring until it reaches a temperature of 232° or until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water.

(Be sure bulb of thermometer is not resting on bottom of saucepan.)

Remove saucepan from heat; add butter and vanilla to mixture.

Do not stir.

Allow candy to cool at room temperature until it reaches 110°.
