Notes
- What makes these candy coated peanuts extra special? The sugar is enhanced with vanilla extract for an abundance of flavor.
- Pure vanilla extract gives a much better flavor than imitation vanilla.
- Use a large sheet pan or a pan with sides to prevent the sugared peanuts from falling off during the baking process.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Stir the peanuts two times during cooking, preferably every 15 minutes to prevent the nuts from sticking together and to the pan.
- The candied nuts are super hot when they are taken from the oven. Let cool before snacking.
