What is and how to make the glazed peanut or can this be bought from cake ingredients suppliers?
We have not seen glazed peanuts at the cake ingredients supply stores. However, you can make them.
Here’s the recipe:
2 cups raw peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Combine and dissolve sugar and water over medium heat in a pan. Once dissolved, add in the peanuts and continue to stir over medium heat, until peanuts are shiny or have a glazed look. Remove pan from heat and spread the peanuts on an aluminum foil. Be sure to separate peanuts while they are warm so they do not stick together.
Hope this helps.
