2 cups peanuts
1 cup Chelsea White Sugar
1/2 Cup of Water
1/2 teaspoon Red Food Colouring

Combine all ingredients in a large frying pan. Stir over a low heat until sugar is dissolved.
Bring to the boil, boil steadily uncovered for ten minutes. Remove from heat. Stir constantly with a fork until sugar crystalises around peanuts.

Love all of them so easy to make

I've made sugar peanuts for many years but I tried this recipe out of interest.
These had the best results ever.
Easily separated peanuts after the coating and into the over I think just dried them out a bit more so that they didn't stick together.
Thanks

Just tried this recipe and turned out great. Thankyou

STIRRED AND STIRRED AND NO CRYSTALISATION. TOSSED THEM OUT!
Chelsea: thanks for your feedback and apologies they didn't turn out well. We've adjusted the water amount and added a baking component to dry them out.
