In a skillet over medium heat, add 250 g of shelled peanuts.

2

Pour in 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water.

Once the water boils with the sugar, it will start to foam and gradually evaporate.

Remove from heat when the mixture resembles white sand and stir continuously.

Return to heat to caramelize the peanuts, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

7

This process will take about 10 minutes on medium heat.
