Sweet Peanuts

Sweet Peanuts Detail
Every Indian is familiar with these cute brittle candies made with Jaggery/Gur & nuts (peanuts, cashews, almonds..),  sesame seeds, puffed rice or even dessicated coconut, peanut/groundnut being the most common of all. When we were kids, this was one sweet sought after treat we could easily afford with our pocket money. I remember these being available at every street corner vendor, & we would run down to the stores & buy these little rectangle pieces wrapped in clear wraps for 25 paisa a piece.
My grandma & my ma would frequently make these at home, at our requests & I remember looking over in the pans to see Jaggery melt, the peanuts quickly added to it, mixed & the entire goop scooped out quickly & spread out into a layer… I would persistently stand by for as long as it took to make it, & then touching the spread to see if it cooled down. It did pretty soon & it was time for the treat.
