Melanie's Sugared Peanuts
Source of Recipe
Melanie Warren
List of Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 cup raw Spanish peanuts (the kind with the red skins on them)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 300° F. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in peanuts and continue to cook over medium heat until peanuts are completely sugared (no syrup remains). Pour peanuts onto an ungreased baking sheet (I use a jellyroll pan so none of those critters escape) and spread out as much as possible. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Allow to cool and break any chunks apart. Store in an airtight container.
