Also known as Sugar Coated Peanuts or Burnt Peanuts.

I only make these at Christmas, my mom gives me the raw peanuts. I can make 6 batches with the 2 bags she gives me.

I hope my hubby gives these away, they don't need to be in the house. You start eating them and you can't quit. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

I always love your recipes.

I have to ask what are raw peanuts? Can you only use raw peanuts?

Raw peanuts need to be cooked before eating them. The ones I get have the skins on them. I have never used any other peanuts to make this recipe.

I have seen raw peanuts in the produce section at the store. You may have to ask for them.

The bag says Houston's Raw Redskin Peanuts sold in a 2 lb. bag.

My mom gets them for me. Some group sells them as a fundraiser for their group.

I purchased raw peanuts from Amazon to make peanut brittle. I have some left over and wondered what I would do with them, now I know. Thanks!

Do you keep the lid off the pan while the syrup is boiling down?
