I’ll be sharing the recipe for candied groundnuts in a bit but before I do, here are a few notes on the ingredients. Candied groundnut is made with roasted groundnut. You can either buy already roasted groundnut or roast some at home.

Lastly, either brown sugar or white sugar can be used in making sugar-coated groundnuts.

How To Prepare
Pour the groundnuts, sugar and water into a clean saucepan. Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon. Please, ensure that the groundnuts are well coated with the sugar mix; you don’t want some to be candied while others are not. When you’re done mixing the ingredients, place the saucepan on medium heat and start stirring continuously. Let me also stress the fact that you need to pay close attention to the ingredients in the saucepan as burning will seriously alter the taste of the candied peanuts. When you notice that the sugar mix is drying up, reduce the heat and continue stirring. Keep watching the sugar mix and when it begins to feel grainy, turn off the heat. Give the content of the saucepan a quick but thorough mix then pour it into a tray and spread it out to cool. The nuts will harden a little as it cools. Your job is done. Just serve up the candied groundnuts and enjoy whenever you want. Happy Weekend in advance. Featured Image Source: The Spruce EatsGot a suggestion? Contact us: editor@connectnigeria.com
