Nuts Brittle (Tengteng Kacang)


It’s a favorite of mine! It is called Tenteng Kacang (in Bahasa). Due to having an Asian taste originally, I would rather make it myself. This snack is very popular among students and children and it can be found very easy anywhere in Indonesia. Both in the grocery store and street seller.


This recipe is adopted from Lisa, her blog is Somewhere in between. Absolutely easy to make and very nice to be served for party.

NOTE: I don’t fry my own nuts. Finding an easy way by buying salted nuts at the grocery store.

What you need:
100 gram nuts (chopped)
100 gram cashews (chopped)
300 granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of ginger juice

Cook sugar in a pot until boil and caramelize in medium heat. Add chopped of nuts, cashews and ginger juice. Stir them well and quickly until everything is blended together.

Put the mix on a greasy baking pan and flatten them well. Chill at room temperature until the mixture gets hard.

Then the snack is ready to be served.


Happy snacking!
