Loa Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp. Even the name makes me salivate. Oh my gosh, I put this on everything from quesadillas, to brie sandwiches, to grilled chicken. Sometimes I eat it straight from the spoon. Now here's a recipe that fuses east (Spicy Chili Crisp, sesame seeds) and west (peanut brittle) together in a sweet/salty snack. How could I go wrong???

How To Make lao gan ma peanut brittle

1
Spread butter evenly on the surface of a rimmed cookie sheet or baking tray. Set aside.

2
Combine the water, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce heat until its gently and steadily boiling. Stir occasionally until the syrup turns golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Once it starts to smell a little toasty, its about done. Remove from heat.
3
Working quickly, stir in the peanuts and sesame seeds, followed by the Spicy Chili Crisp. QUICKLY pour onto the buttered cookie sheet, spreading the mixture as thinly as possible. IT WILL SET FAST - JUST A FEW SECONDS!!!
4
Let cool, then break into pieces. If you don't eat it in one sitting, store in an airtight container.
