- Then the bubbles will subside, and the mixture will start to turn from a light to a deep amber color, almost resemble that of syrup.
- When the mixture has changed to honey-like amber color, add baking soda and stir quickly to dissolve, and the mixture will foam up like in the photo. Then add the butter and mix well, the foam will subside and the mixture will become thick.
- All you have to do now is adding the peanut and mix quickly so that the caramel mixture evenly coat the peanuts, then remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into the prepared pan, use the back of a spoon to spread and level the mixture and let to cool.
- When the mixture has cooled down but is still warm and lightly soft, you can use a sharp and lightly buttered knife and cut it into pieces.
