Description

Directions

• Place peanuts in a single layer and roast in a 350°F (180°C) oven for about 13 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and immediately toss with salt and five-spice powder. Set aside and allow it to cool.
• Line a 10-in x 6½-in pan with parchment paper. Sprinkle half the sesame seeds and all the nuts over base of tin. Sprinkle the red chili flakes on the top. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, and water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. This should take about 3 minutes. Bring to a boil. Cover and allow it to continue boiling for approximately 16 minutes or until sugar turns a light amber color or is between 300°F (149°C) and 310°F (154°C). Turn off heat.
• Pour melted sugar over peanuts and sesame seeds. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds evenly on the top.
• After about 5 minutes cut candy into rectangles before it cools completely.
