    Method

    1. 1

      Line a tray with parchment and keep it next to the stove. Hot sugar burns badly, so work carefully.

    2. 2

      Boil the sugar and water without stirring until the syrup turns amber.

    3. 3

      Take it off the heat, stir in the peanuts and salt, and pour onto the tray right away.

    4. 4

      Let it cool completely, then snap into pieces.
