Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 55m

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts (10 ounces)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat peanuts, sugar, and water in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is grainy and crystallized, 15 to 18 minutes. (Sugar should not caramelize.)
  • Raise heat to medium-high, and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar just starts to melt again. (Sugar will start to caramelize. Adjust heat if sugar begins to burn or smoke.) Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Once peanuts are coated, with some crystallized sugar remaining, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread into a single layer using a rubber spatula.
  • Transfer sheet to a wire rack, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

- Roasting the peanuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. - Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the sugar coating. This will help prevent the sugar from burning. - Cook the sugar coating over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing. - Once the sugar coating starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. This will help prevent the sugar from burning. - Add the peanuts to the sugar coating and stir until they are evenly coated. - Spread the peanuts out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely. - Store the peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
