Ingredients
2 cups sugar
3 cups raw peanuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup corn syrup
3 cups raw peanuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup corn syrup
Where to find ingredients
Find sugar, baking soda, and corn syrup at any major supermarket. Raw peanuts can be purchased at local wet markets or specialty grocery stores. If raw peanuts are unavailable, roasted unsalted peanuts may be used as a substitute, though the texture and cooking time may vary slightly.
Preparation method
- Start by mixing the peanuts, sugar, and corn syrup in a deep microwave-safe bowl.
- Place the mixture in the microwave on high power for 10 minutes, remembering to pause the cooking a few times to stir well and ensure even cooking.
- As soon as you remove the bowl from the appliance, add the baking soda and stir quickly so it is fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Immediately spread the syrup onto a stone countertop or a cold surface that has been previously greased with a little margarine.
- Let the candy rest until it cools completely, and only then, break it into smaller pieces to serve.
Observations
This is the ideal solution for whenever you crave a traditional, crunchy sweet without spending hours at the stove. It is a simple, straightforward preparation that guarantees a delicious result.
