Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups raw peanuts or use roasted unsalted for a different flavor
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.5 teaspoons jalapeño powder adjust to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 sticks unsalted butter for greasing the pan
  • 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract for extra flavor

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Grease a baking sheet with butter to prevent sticking.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Add raw peanuts and jalapeño powder. Continue stirring until mixture reaches a golden color, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and immediately add vanilla. Stir well for even distribution.
  • Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Let cool completely.
  • Once cool, break into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra kick, add some chopped fresh jalapeños before cooling. Perfect with a cold beverage!
