Praline paste
54g peanuts
60g white sugar
Water, as needed
Splash of rum or vanilla extract
Splash of neutral oil (I used olive oil)
Roast peanuts in 350⁰F oven for about 5-10min, until you can start to smell them. Place sugar in a pot on the stove and wet sugar with water. Leave no sugar dry!! Put on high heat, and watch carefully until sugar has cooked to a caramel colour. Immediately removed from heat and stir in roasted peanuts. Stir until caramel starts to get sticky and coat nuts, then remove from pot onto parchment paper and leave to cool.
Once fully cooled and hardened, break up caramel coated nuts into smaller chunks. Blend in food processor, blender, or with a stick blender until smooth. You can add a splash of extract for flavour, and splashes of a neutral oil to help your paste come together a little easier. Transfer to a sealable container and store in the fridge for later use!
