Recipe type: celebrations
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of white sugar
  • 2 cups of peanuts
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • ½ cup water
Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
  2. In a medium size saucepan add the sugar, vanilla and water.
  3. On a medium heat, dissolve the sugar until the liquid is clear.
  4. Add peanuts in small batches, stirring as you go until they are all added.
  5. Keep stirring and cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until there is only minimal liquid remaining.
  6. Line a tray with baking paper and pour the mixture on to it.
  7. Spread out the peanuts across the tray, using a fork.
  8. Place in oven for 30 minutes. Set a timer for 10 minute intervals and stir up the peanut mix each time. This helps the peanuts bake more evenly.
  9. Break up any clumps of peanuts if needed with a fork.
  10. You can serve them warm or place in an air tight container once cooled to serve later.
