Sugar Coated Peanuts
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 2 cups of peanuts
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ½ cup water
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
- In a medium size saucepan add the sugar, vanilla and water.
- On a medium heat, dissolve the sugar until the liquid is clear.
- Add peanuts in small batches, stirring as you go until they are all added.
- Keep stirring and cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until there is only minimal liquid remaining.
- Line a tray with baking paper and pour the mixture on to it.
- Spread out the peanuts across the tray, using a fork.
- 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.
- Break up any clumps of peanuts if needed with a fork.
- You can serve them warm or place in an air tight container once cooled to serve later.
