Ingredients
- - 1 cup white granulated sugar 200g
- - 1/2 cup golden syrup 120ml or corn syrup
- - 1/4 teaspoon salt
- - 1/4 cup water 60ml
- - 1 cup salted peanuts 150g
- - 2 tablespoons vegan butter 30g
- - 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and set aside. Measure out peanuts, vegan butter, and baking soda to have ready.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, syrup, salt, and water. Heat over medium-high, stirring until the sugar dissolves and starts to boil.
- Attach a candy thermometer and stir in the peanuts. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
- Immediately remove from heat. Stir in vegan butter and baking soda (be cautious—it will bubble up).
- Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or two forks to spread it thin.
- Cool in the fridge. Once set, break into pieces using a knife and gentle hammer taps.
Notes
- Swap peanuts with almonds or cashews for a fun twist.
- Add a pinch of cayenne or cinnamon for a bold flavor kick.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
