I love peanuts and this is a snack you need to try. They are spicy in a good way but you can surely adjust the spice to taste.

Ingredients

Depends
12+ big pieces
  1. 1and 1/2 cups salted toasted peanuts
  2. 2 cupsgranulated sugar
  3. 1/4 cupwater
  4. 3 tbspunsalted butter
  5. 1/2 tspbaking soda
  6. 1 tspginger powder
  7. 1 tspcinnamon
  8. 1/2 tspfresh ground nutmeg/powder
  9. 1/4 tspground clove, optional
  10. 1/8 tspsalt

Cooking Instructions

Depends
  1. 1

    In a large saucepan, add in the sugar, water, salt and spices.

  2. 2

    Cook that on medium high heat, stirring frequently until everything is melted and a syrup forms.

  3. 3

    Also, in a ziplock bag, add in the peanuts and with a rolling pin, crash up the nuts until the desired chunkiness is reached.

  4. 4

    After the sugar melts (this will take a while, be patient), take it of the heat and whisk in the butter and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up a little. Immediately add in the peanuts and with a wooden spoon/spatula stir it well to coat all the peanuts.

  5. 5

    Now working quickly, transfer the mixture to a greased or parchment paper lined flat surface like the back of a baking tray and with the spatula, spread the mixture out and pat it down to tightly pack it and to get a smooth surface.

  6. 6

    Leave at room temperature until it firms up completely. Then break into pieces and serve. Store these in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and in ziplock bags in the freezer for at most 1 month. Enjoy!
