Method

  •  Roast the peanuts at 150c for 20 to 30 minutes depending on how roasted you fancy them
  • Check them every 5 minutes
  • Put in a large bowl
  • Once cool rub off as many skins as you can
  • Roast the coconut for about 10 minutes, checking and stirring every 3 minutes or so
  • Add coconut and sultanas to peanuts
  • Heat the butter, honey and sugar in a pot until it reaches 121c degrees
  • This is also known as the hard ball stage; it you don't have a thermometer drop a tiny bit into a glass of water and if it goes hard then it is ready
  • Pour hot toffee over the peanuts etc and mix
