About Caramelised peanut

A caramelised peanut is a peanut coated or combined with sugar that has been heated until it browns. Products differ in how much coating they carry and may include additional ingredients, but the defining elements are peanut and caramelized sugar. They are sold whole or in pieces, often as a ready-to-eat sweet snack or confection.

The peanut retains a firm, crunchy interior beneath a sweet, hard or brittle coating. Its roasted, earthy flavour contrasts with the cooked-sugar sweetness; the coating may be pale and crisp or darker and more toasted. The term describes a preparation rather than a single fixed recipe, so coating thickness and texture vary.
