What do I need?
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 2 cups caster sugar
- ½ cup water
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups dry roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
How do I make it?
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and spray with cooking spray. Spray the rim of a glass or mug with cooking spray as you will use this to create the round shape. Set aside.
- Add sugar and water to a large saucepan or deep walled frying pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil but do not stir the mixture, swirl the pan instead.
- When it reaches boiling point, add butter, and reduce heat to medium low, swirling the pan occasionally until the temperature of the mixture is 155C. It should be a light caramel colour at this stage. Remove pan from the heat and add peanuts, salt, and bicarbonate of soda. Be careful when adding the bicarb as it will make the mixture bubble.
- Working quickly, spoon tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Use the glass to shape into rounds. Let sit for 30 minutes to harden, then store in an airtight container.
