1 1/2 cups sgar
1/4 cup butter
4 cups shelled raw peanuts (with skins)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

1 Lightly greased a large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. 2 Stir together sugar, butter, and 1/2 cup water in a large deep pot over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until better melts and sugar dissolves. 3 Increase heat to medium-high; add peanuts, and cook, stirring often, 15 minutes, or until mixture becomes dry.  Reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook 6 to 9 minutes, stirring often, until sugar melts and turns golden.  It will coat the nuts, but do not stir constantly.
