• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add peanuts, and cook stirring, over medium heat until peanuts are evenly coated, and no syrup is left in pan. Spread nuts out on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to evenly roast peanuts.

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve sugar in water over medium heat. Add peanuts and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook until peanuts are completely sugared, coated with no syrup. You'll know when they get to this point. It will take approximately 30 minutes.
• 2. Preheat oven to 300. Pour sugared peanuts onto an ungreased cookie sheet, which has been lined with foil or parchment paper. Separate peanuts by using a fork.
• 3. Bake at 300 for approximately 25-30 minutes, stirring at 8-10 minute intervals. Remove from oven and cool. Store in an air tight container.

Steps:

• Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper.
• In 12- or 14-inch cast iron skillet, beat sugar, water and vanilla paste with whisk. Stir in peanuts. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to boil rapidly, about 5 minutes. Cook, stirring constantly, until liquid reduces and sugar crystallizes on peanuts. Continue to cook and stir until peanuts are dry and crusty looking.
• Reduce heat to low; continue to cook and stir as sugar begins to turn to syrup and pool in bottom of skillet. Use spoon to continuously toss peanuts in syrup as it forms. Continue to do this until peanuts are golden brown, about 15 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar is dissolved, to make a syrup.
• Add peanuts. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until peanuts are evenly coated, and no syrup is left in pan.
• Spread nuts out on baking sheets. Bake at 300 degrees F for about thirty minutes to one hour or until sugar is completely dried. Gently stir the peanuts a few times while baking. Remove from oven and place on paper towels, let cool, and store in airtight containers.

Steps:

• Heat peanuts, sugar, and water in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is grainy and crystallized, 15 to 18 minutes. (Sugar should not caramelize.)
• Raise heat to medium-high, and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar just starts to melt again. (Sugar will start to caramelize. Adjust heat if sugar begins to burn or smoke.) Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Once peanuts are coated, with some crystallized sugar remaining, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread into a single layer using a rubber spatula.
• Transfer sheet to a wire rack, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a small saucepan and pour the water around the edge to moisten it. Bring to a boil; then add the peanuts. Stir continuously until all the water is cooked away. Turn the heat to medium and continue cooking and stirring until caramelized.
• Dump the peanuts onto a slightly greased surface, like a piece of marble, and let cool slightly. Using your hands, and being careful not to burn yourself, separate them into individual glazed nuts. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a plain paper bag or parchment paper.
• Mix peanuts, sugar, and water together using a wooden spoon in a large pot over medium-low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is evaporated and peanuts are coated, 20 to 30 minutes. Carefully pour coated peanuts onto the prepared baking sheet to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and food coloring if desired. Bring to a boil over medium heat; stir in peanuts. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes or until peanuts are coated and no syrup remains. Spread peanuts into an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; separated with a fork. Bake at 300° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir sugar into water in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Add peanuts, chipotle chile powder, kosher salt, chili powder, and garlic powder into the liquid.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates and the remaining syrup coats the nuts, about 15 minutes; spread immediately onto the prepared baking sheet. Use forks to separate any peanuts stuck together and to get an even layer.
• Bake in preheated oven, stirring and then separating the peanuts every 5 minutes, until the peanuts are glazed, about 20 minutes total. Let peanuts cool completely before breaking into small pieces.
