Caramelized peanuts: a homemade version with weighed ingredients and detailed preparation.

Ingredients

300 g unsalted roasted peanuts
250 g sugar
100 ml water

Preparation

Prepare a heat-resistant baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan.

Dissolve the sugar over moderate heat, then add the roasted peanuts. Stir until crystallization forms around the kernels.

Continue cooking gently, stirring, to obtain a light caramelized coating. Remove from heat before excessive browning.

Spread with a suitable utensil, without touching the hot sugar. Let cool completely, separate the kernels, then divide into 12 portions.
