Preparation

Low

Prepare a greased baking tray. In a saucepan, put the water, sugar, glucose, and stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved. Boil until the mixture reaches 150ºC. When it reaches that temperature, turn off the heat and add the butter, peanuts, and baking soda. Mix well. Pour into the baking tray and spread it out to make it look even. Let it cool and once cooled, cut into pieces.
