Nut Candies

摘要

Small batch Place the sugar and water in a cooking kettle. Bring to a boil and add the peanuts. Cook on a medium fire until the syrup has turned to sugar and begins to form a sugar crust around the peanuts. Set the kettle off the fire and continue to stir until all the damp sugar is dry. Set the kettle on the fire and add one heaping tablespoon of dairy butter. Stir until the peanuts take up all the remaining sugar, a part of the sugar on the peanuts remelts and the sugared peanuts become glossy in appearance. Pour nuts onto an oiled cooling slab. Mix the peanuts often while they are cooling to prevent them from sticking together.
