Ingredients
2 cups raw, shelled peanuts
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder (optional)
A bit of salt
Directions
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, ground cinnamon (if using) and a pinch of salt.
- Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the peanuts to the sugar mixture and stir well so they are covered in the caramel.
- Continue cooking the peanuts, stirring constantly, until the caramel begins to harden and crystallize around the peanuts.
- This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- When the peanuts are well caramelized and covered with a layer of crunchy sugar, remove the pan from the heat.
- Pour the peanuts onto a surface covered with parchment paper or a greased baking sheet and quickly separate them with a fork or spatula to prevent them from sticking together.
- Let the peanuts cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
