Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are commonly found at local supermarkets. Raw peanuts can be purchased in the nuts and dried fruit section. If corn syrup is unavailable, light golden syrup serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the peanuts, sugar, and corn syrup in a deep, microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the mixture on high power for 10 minutes, remembering to pause the cooking process occasionally to stir well and ensure it cooks evenly.
- Once you remove the bowl from the microwave, add the baking soda and stir quickly so that it is fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Immediately spread the hot mixture onto a stone countertop or a cold surface that has been previously greased with a little margarine.
- Allow the candy to rest until completely cooled, then break it into smaller pieces to serve.
