A crunchy and sweet confection made from roasted peanuts and caramelized sugar. This Lao-style peanut brittle often incorporates subtle spices or a hint of salt to balance the sweetness, making it an addictive treat.
🧂 Składniki
- 1 1/2 cups Raw peanuts(shelled)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Vinegar(white or apple cider)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 cup Sesame seeds(toasted (optional))
- 1/8 tsp Five-spice powder(optional, for a subtle warmth)
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes(optional, for a hint of heat)
👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Roast the peanuts: Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 13-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven, toss with salt and optional five-spice powder, and set aside to cool.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Make the caramel: In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and vinegar. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling, without stirring, until it reaches an amber color or a temperature of 300-310°F (149-154°C) on a candy thermometer.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in the baking soda (the mixture will foam up) and the roasted peanuts (and optional toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes). Stir quickly to combine.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Work quickly once the baking soda is added, as the mixture will expand. - 6
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin, even layer using a heat-resistant spatula.

Let the brittle cool completely, then break it into pieces.

💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów
- ✓Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately, especially the sugar and water, as candy making is a science.
- ✓If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into cold water; it should form a hard ball.
- ✓Store the peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crispness.
