ANGOLA: Pé-de-Mileque (Peanut and Caramel Candy)

Very simple and very Angolan. Also known as Doce de Amendoim.

Ingredients:

1 cup peanuts, unsalted and de-shelled
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

Instructions:

In a saucepan bring the sugar and water to a boil.
Once the syrup begins to caramelize, add in the peanuts, stirring constantly until the sugar reaches a smooth and even consistency with a brownish caramel color.

Remove from heat and spread mixture evenly on a greased pan about 4×8. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

When chilled, slice into small squares and serve.
