Recipe Introduction

"This easy recipe should come with the warning 'Caution -- highly addictive.' When you put this tasty snack on the table, be sure to have plenty of ice-cold beer within reach. You can prepare the nuts up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container."

List of Ingredients

◦  3 cups (15 ounces) raw peanuts
◦  ½ cup sugar
◦  Flaky or coarse sea salt


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 300° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.

In a heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the peanuts, sugar, and â…“ cup water and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is pasty, 20 to 25 minutes.

Spread the peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, breaking up clusters, and season generously with salt. Bake, stirring once, until deep brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, season again with salt, and serve.
