Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 2 cups Raw Peanuts
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Chipotle Chile Powder
- ½ teaspoons Cayenne Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
Preparation Instructions
Mix the water, sugar and syrup in a heavy pan. Cook on medium heat till it reaches 250 deg ( soft ball stage if you do not have a thermometer). Stir occasionally.
While this is cooking cover a large baking sheet with foil and butter well.
Add the peanuts and continue to cook, stirring occasionally till the mixture reaches 290 degrees ( hard cracked).
Stir in the salt and chile powders and butter. Mix well and then stir in the baking soda.
Immediately pour the mixture out on a foil covered and buttered baking sheet to cool.
You may need to spread the candy out a bit. Careful as it is VERY hot.
Once cooled break into small pieces and enjoy!
