Time 22m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups unsalted peanuts, without skins
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil or wax paper, or spray with non-stick cooking spray (that "release" foil works great).
  • In a small heavy saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat to dissolve the sugar.
  • Stir in the five-spice powder & bring to a boil; let boil for several minutes without stirring; when it reaches the "soft ball" stage (238 f) remove from the heat & stir in the peanuts.
  • Spread the mixture out on the sheet; let stand until it has hardened then break into pieces. Store in a sealed canister.
