Sweet Peanuts


Since I was a kid sweetened peanuts was already my favorite thing to munch. When my mom buy something at the store I always tell her to buy sweetened peanuts for me. I was 22 years old when I learned how to cook this from a friend who taught me. Since then, I love to make this, specially if we have family gatherings.

Ingredients:
4 cups peanuts ( around 1 kilo)
2 cup sugar
4 cups water

Procedure:
1.Put all the ingredients in a wide pan then bring to a boil.
2. Continue boiling until the sugar caramelizes.

3. Stir well and see to it that it will not be burnt.
4. Continue stirring until the sugar is melted and the peanuts were coated, transfer in a tray and allow to cool and keep in a jar.

      :) I'm glad you liked it, yes not fried! :) when you cook it once the water evaporates it will be dried dont be scared just continue stirring and maintain the heat, it will make the sugar melt then will start to look shiny and brownish until you come up with the finished product like the one in the picture, but do not put too much heat because the sugar can burn easily.
