Sugared Peanuts
"This used to be my family's one Xmas tradition. Then we all got healthy. *sigh* I do miss these....
We made these in an electric fypan. But you could probably use a large frypan on the stove top.
The cooking time is a guess. But it never seemed to be all that long.
Double quantities work well - as long as you have a large enough frypan."

I have to confess I modified this recipe a little...I used roasted peanuts (unsalted) and less water to have a crusty even coating. The result? I took some on a Friday for my son's teachers to try. Enough to say they bothered to ring me back home to ask for the recipe! -
I made these for our Oz/Nz Regional Tour. What a wonderful little snack and so easy to make!

Love food. Love cooking food. Especially love having other people to cook for, and trying out new recipes on them.
Mostly vegetarian, do eat a little seafood and starting to get into chicken.
The vast majority of my recipes are gluten-free and diabetic friendly (except the desserts - have to cater for the boyfriend's sweet tooth).
