How to Make Sesame Peanut Candy
- In a large saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, until it reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in ½ cup black sesame seeds and ½ cup roasted peanuts.
- Quickly pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Let the candy cool completely (approximately 90 minutes) until firm to the touch.
- Once cooled and firm, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the candy into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Enjoy your spooky black sesame peanut candies! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
