Peanut candy, a crispy sugar cube, carries childhood memories and sweetness on the tip of the tongue. Some people's love for peanut candy is as deep as a lover's love, and they can't bear to eat it in one bite, but carefully hold it in their mouths and slowly savor its crispy and mellow flavor. Today, let's reveal how to make peanut candy!

Preparing ingredients

Peanuts: 500g

Maltose: 300g

Cooking oil: moderate

Sugar: 50g (can be adjusted according to personal taste)

Production steps

Peanuts stir frying

Pour the peanuts into the pot, turn on the heat to medium and stir fry. The peanuts keep rolling and jumping in the pan, gradually becoming golden and crunchy, and an enticing aroma fills the air. At this point, you will understand why peanut candy is so desirable.

2. Peeling and popping

Pour the sautéed peanuts into the cooking machine, cover the lid and press the switch. With a roar, the peanut skins are flung out by the high-speed rotating blades, leaving only the naked peanut kernels. This is the key to crunchy peanut candy!

3. Melt the maltose

Pour the maltose into a non-stick sauté pan and add the right amount of water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring as you go, until the maltose is completely melted and turns into a golden brown syrup. During this time, don't be in a hurry, or the maltose will be easy to paste the pan.

4. Add sugar and peanuts

After the maltose has melted, add the sugar and peanut kernels and continue to stir well. The syrup will slowly coat the peanuts and form a sticky syrupy paste. At this point, you can let your imagination run wild and add ingredients such as cranberries, raisins or nuts to create unique peanut candies.

5. Spreading and molding

Pour the syrupy paste onto a greased baking sheet and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin sheet. Take extra care while rolling so that the syrup paste doesn't stick to the rolling pin. If the syrup paste is too sticky, you can add some cooking oil appropriately.

6. Cut into pieces to cool

Cut the peanut candy into small pieces while it is still hot, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to cool. Once cooled, the peanut candies will become crunchy and flavorful, so you just can't stop!

Tips

Peanuts should be peeled as soon as possible after frying, otherwise the peanut skins will become soft, affecting the taste.

Don't cook the maltose for too long after melting or it will become hard.

Be careful when cutting the peanut candies to avoid the candies breaking.

Peanut candies can be stored airtight in a cool and ventilated place, and the shelf life is usually 1-2 weeks.

Well, this is how to make peanut candy! Let's do it, let the sweet peanut candy light up your taste buds!
