Instructions

In a large skillet, add peanuts, sugar and water. Bring to a low boil over medium high heat while stirring. Continue stirring for 8-10 minutes until water evaporates and sugar re-crystalizes becoming like sand. Working quickly, add in salt. Stir again to make sure all peanuts are coated.
Pour sugared nuts out onto parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread out so that the peanuts are in a single layer. Break apart any nuts that are stuck together. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
