Instructions
- Line a large, wide/shallow baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, stir sugar and corn syrup over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Stir in peanuts. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until candy thermometer reaches 295 degrees and the mixture is a golden color, about 10-15 minutes.
