Where to find ingredients
You can find all necessary ingredients at local grocery stores in the pantry or baking aisles. If corn syrup is unavailable, a light glucose syrup serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Start by mixing the peanuts, sugar, and corn syrup in a deep, microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the mixture on high power for 10 minutes, making sure to pause the process a few times to stir well and ensure even cooking.
- Once you remove the bowl from the microwave, add the baking soda and stir quickly so it is fully incorporated into the syrup.
- Spread the mixture immediately onto a marble countertop or a cool, greased surface previously lightly coated with margarine.
- Allow the candy to rest until completely cooled, then break it into smaller pieces to serve.
