For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the sugar mixture during cooking. The salt will enhance the sweetness and create a more complex taste profile. If you desire a spicy kick, incorporate 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the peanut mixture while cooking. Adjust the amount to your preference. Be extremely careful when handling the hot, sugary peanuts. The sugar can reach very high temperatures and cause burns. Use caution when pouring them onto the baking sheet.
