How to make peanut candy delicious?

I remember when I was a child, I would prepare sesame peanut candy at home every New Year. The mixture of black sesame seeds and peanuts tastes delicious and unforgettable. It's getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival, and I miss the taste of childhood again, but it's not sold all over the street. Sometimes you eat not only delicious food, but also that feeling. So today, I will teach you how to make peanut candy. If you happen to like it, let's try it together.

Black sesame peanut candy

Ingredients: peanut 30g, black sesame 100g, sugar 200g (which can be replaced by rock sugar or maltose), water (or edible oil) 30g.

Steps:

1, prepare raw materials first. Peanuts can be bought cooked or eaten raw. Try to choose fine sugar, I use cooked black sesame seeds.

2. peanuts are raw, so they need to be put on a baking tray and baked in the oven, which will be more fragrant.

3. After that, set the oven to 180 degrees and bake for about 10 minutes.

The next step is very important. This step is to boil sugar. Pour water into a non-stick pan, then add sugar and melt it on low heat.

It should be noted here that don't stir in the process of boiling sugar, and don't care when big bubbles begin to appear.

6. After about 5 or 6 minutes, the bubbles in the pot began to become dense, and the water content decreased and became sticky.

7. Continue to cook on low heat. At this time, you can stir it a little until it appears amber, which means it is ripe.

8. Then, don't turn off the fire. Quickly pour peanuts and sesame seeds into the pot while they are hot, stir well and coat with syrup.

9. After stirring evenly, transfer to a non-stick baking tray for shaping. I don't do much, you can double it.

10. After thorough cooling, it can be removed from the baking tray, placed on the chopping board and cut into small pieces.

1 1. The peanut sesame candy made by ourselves is very fragrant, especially crisp and not sticky at all.

Tips:

1, try not to reduce sugar, because once reduced, the viscosity will be much worse.

2. I use refined sugar. If I don't, I can use other sugar instead. I tried, and the difference is not very big.

3. In the process of boiling sugar, remember to have a small fire all the time to avoid a big fire.

4. Be sure to keep an eye on it in the last few minutes, and don't be possessed.

Peanuts and sesame seeds must be cooked, so that they are fragrant enough.
