Ingredients
- 2cups de Sugar
- 1cup de Water
- 300g de Roasted peanuts (with shell)
Instructions
In a saucepan, mix two cups of sugar with one cup of water and place over the heat.
Dica: It is not necessary to stir with a spoon at first; just wait for it to boil.
Let the syrup boil until the water evaporates and the sugar reaches the thread stage.
Dica: The stage is reached when the mixture thickens and is about to crystallize.
Add the 300g of peanuts (with shells, optionally) to the syrup when it is slightly thick and forming a thread.
Dica: Keeping the shells is optional, but it gives a rustic look similar to store-bought candies.
Continue cooking quickly over low/medium heat after adding the peanuts, allowing the sugar to dry out and harden around the nuts.
Dica: Watch the carmelization process, which will make the mixture firmer.
Pour the mixture into a greased or lined dish (depending on preference) so it can cool and set.
Dica: As it cools, the candy will form a crystallized sugar crust on the bottom, just like traditional sweets.
After cooling completely, the peanut cones ('cartuchinhos') will be ready to eat or to be used as filling in cones (cartouches).
Dica: Make sure it has cooled well to achieve the desired crunchiness.
