Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Don't overcook the peanuts or they will become tough. - Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test. To do this, drop a small amount of the sugar syrup into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a hard ball, it is ready. - Work quickly when dipping the peanuts in the chocolate. The chocolate will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to get all of the peanuts coated. - Store the Payday candy bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
