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
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets and general grocery stores. If raw peanuts are unavailable, roasted unsalted peanuts can be used as a substitute.
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 it cooks evenly.
- As soon as you remove the bowl from the appliance, add the baking soda and stir quickly so it incorporates fully 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 has cooled completely, then break it into smaller pieces to serve.
