Overview

With the improvement of people's living standards in modern society, there are many kinds of snacks. Now you can buy whatever you want. But when I was a child, snacks were a luxury for us. The New Year snacks twenty or thirty years ago were extremely simple. Every Chinese New Year, my mother would make some rice sticks and occasionally some sesame peanut candy to soothe the taste buds of us little greedy cats. In that era, peanut sesame candy was a rare thing. It was our spiritual ritual at that time. It was the taste of the year that once flowed on the tip of the tongue. It was also an inseparable and beautiful memory in childhood life. During the Spring Festival, make a pot of tea and serve it as refreshment. Friends and family chat together about home life, and take a bite of peanut sesame candy. It is sweet and delicious, and it is pleasant to think about it. Nowadays, the sesame peanut candy handmade outside is not cheap per pound. You can make it at home. The price is affordable and you can eat it with confidence. Today I will share with you the method of making sesame peanut candy. You can give it a try when you have time

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 The first step is to fry the black sesame seeds. After the pot is hot, add the black sesame seeds and stir-fry over low heat until the black sesame seeds jump up and become cooked. Take them out and set aside. Do not burn them in this step

   

2. 2 Next, I fry the peanuts. I usually put some salt in the pot so that the peanuts are not easily burnt. I also keep stirring until they are cooked

   

3. 3 Put it in the bag, wait for the peanuts to cool, remove the skin of the peanuts, and crush them with a rolling pin, as shown in the picture below

   

4. 4 Separate the skins from all the peanuts, put them into a bowl and set aside

   

5. 5 Put sugar in the pot, add a little water, the ratio is 1:1, stir constantly and stir-fry until the sugar melts and the big bubbles turn into small bubbles, and then until the sugar turns into caramel color

   

6. 6 Put the peanuts into the pot, stir-fry quickly until they are covered with sugar, then place them on the chopping board

   

7. 7 Put the black sesame seeds into the pot and stir evenly

   

8. 8 Use a knife to shape the shape as quickly as possible on the chopping board. You can also put it into the mold and press it tightly

   

9. 9 While it is still cooling, cut it into small pieces. Please ignore my knife skills. After it is completely cool, place it in a container and seal it well

   

10. 10 Crispy and delicious sesame candy is ready. You can also control the ratio of peanuts and black sesame seeds yourself
