granulated sugar
2 cups
salt

Instructions
1
In a large saucepan, combine the raw peanuts, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. Continue boiling until most of the liquid has evaporated and absorbed into the peanuts, approximately 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
4
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the peanut mixture evenly on the pan.
5
Generously sprinkle additional salt over the peanuts to taste before placing them in the oven.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Afterward, remove from the oven and gently stir the peanuts to ensure even coating and baking.
7
Return the pan to the oven for an additional 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to achieve a golden color.
8
Once done, remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan. The nuts will harden as they cool.
9
Store the cooled beer nuts in an airtight container to keep them crunchy and fresh.
