- water
- rice paper
- aluminium foil
Directions:
a pan = sugar + water + vinegar = Mix = COOK at high heat; when it become caramelized, add peanuts = Mix…
Now, using a large spoon transferring mixed caramelized peanuts into a rice paper. Don’t forget spread the mixture evenly around the rice paper.

Then spray some cooking oil on a piece of aluminium foil, place on top of the peanut and use a cake roller to roll around to make the peanut evenly.
Peanut Butter Candy (Peanut Brittle)
Ingredients:
- peanut (bake 10 minutes at 300 – 325 degree oven after 15 minutes pre-heat)
sugar - white sugar
- vinegar
- water
- butter
- baking soda
Directions:
a pan = sugar + water + vinegar = Mix = COOK at high heat; when it become caramelized, turn off the heat; add butter; add baking soda; add peanuts = Mix well.
Again, this step is almost the same as the final step of making Vietnamese peanut candy/cracker above; however, instead of using rice paper, just pour the mixture into a tray and spread them around to shape of you want; you can make it circle or square or rectangle. Then use the cake roller making the cracker evenly; you don’t need an aluminium foil with cooking oil like making Vietnamese peanut cracker because there is butter in the mixture ready.
Finally, after these two peanut cracker/candy is cooled down, just break them into small pieces and store them in jars.
