Crunchy Peanut Nougat

Crunchy Peanut Nougat is simple to make, but  very dangerousJ …be careful because you cannot stop eating this delicious treat! 

First, you need a non stick pot.  Add 300 gr of sugar with a drop of lemon juice and water, then heat  it over the fire until you obtain a very clear caramel. 

At this point, add 250 gr. of shelled peanuts( deprived of their red little skins), mix for a second and then switch off the gas.

The nougat is now very very hot, and you must be extremely careful because it may seriously burn you. Now pour it on a parchment paper or an oiled cake tin, but please be very very careful.

Spread it till it reaches the thickness you want. For this operation I use the rind side of half of a lemon. Before it cools,  smooth it with the blade of a knife, and then let it cool down  to room temperature.

You may store it in a tin box wax paper to separate one piece from another
