Ingredients

16 servings

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cups raw peanuts
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chipotle chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Stir sugar into water in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Add peanuts, chipotle chile powder, kosher salt, chili powder, and garlic powder into the liquid.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates and the remaining syrup coats the nuts, about 15 minutes; spread immediately onto the prepared baking sheet. Use forks to separate any peanuts stuck together and to get an even layer.
  • Bake in preheated oven, stirring and then separating the peanuts every 5 minutes, until the peanuts are glazed, about 20 minutes total. Let peanuts cool completely before breaking into small pieces.
