Ingredients

• 2 cups raw peanuts (or your preferred nut)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium nonstick skillet or saucepan, combine the sugar, water, salt, and cinnamon, if using, over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.

Step 3

Add the raw peanuts to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sugar mixture.

Step 4

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces and starts to crystallize around the peanuts (about 8-10 minutes). Once the sugar crystallizes, continue stirring until the peanuts are completely coated and the sugar begins to caramelize slightly (another 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to burn the sugar.

Step 5

Transfer the coated peanuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to separate any clumps.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the peanuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The nuts will harden as they cool.

Step 8

Once cooled, break apart any remaining clumps and store the beer nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy with your favorite cold beverage!
