unsalted peanuts 250g, coarsely chopped
maple syrup 4 tbsp
caster sugar 200g
butter 1 tbsp
baking powder a pinch
sea salt flakes a pinch
• Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan over high heat until beginning to colour. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium and put the maple syrup, sugar, butter and 4 tbsp of water in the pan. Whisk until the mixture turns creamy but stop stirring as soon as it starts to boil. Simmer for 5-8 minutes or until the mixture begins to darken.
• Tip in the peanuts and briefly toss them in the pan so they’re well coated. Stir in the baking powder with a wooden spoon. Keep stirring until the mixture starts to firm up.
• Carefully transfer the mixture to a baking tray lined with baking paper and level the surface with the wooden spoon. Sprinkle with the sea salt flakes and leave to cool completely.
