NUMBER ONE caramel peanuts are a sweet snack: peanuts coated in a thin caramel shell, sugar cooked until golden and crunchy. They are found in bags in African grocery stores, as a confectionery snack. 100 g bag.
What are caramel peanuts?
This is a confectionery in which peanuts are coated in a caramel made by cooking sugar until it forms a golden shell around each nut. This type of snack, a peanut or groundnut caught in a crunchy caramel, is sold in several West African countries, in bags or made by hand and sold individually. The contrast between the crunch of the caramel and the roasted peanut makes it a popular snack, enjoyed at teatime as well as with drinks.
How to enjoy it?
As is, with drinks or at teatime. Crushed, it adds crunch to an ice cream, a yoghurt or a cake. Keep the bag tightly resealed to keep the caramel crunchy: moisture softens it quickly.
What to pair it with?
In the same crunchy spirit, but savoury: NUMBER ONE salted roasted peanuts. In the same sweet spirit, but as a sweet: NUMBER ONE ginger caramel toffees. The whole section: exotic snacks and treats.
