  • Stir the sugar mixture constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer. This will help you to know when the sugar mixture has reached the correct temperature.
  • Be careful when adding the peanuts to the sugar mixture. The mixture will be very hot, so it is important to add the peanuts slowly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help to prevent the peanuts from sticking to the pan.
  • Spread the peanuts out on the prepared baking sheet. This will help them to cool evenly.
  • Once the peanuts have cooled, break them into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat.
  • Store the peanuts in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
