👨🍳 步驟

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.

In a food processor, pulse the roasted peanuts until they are coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until it reaches a syrup consistency.

Remove the syrup from heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, salt, and optional spices.
- 5
Add the ground peanuts to the syrup mixture and stir until well combined and the peanuts are coated.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm.

Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or bars.
