In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the sugar over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once melted, the sugar should turn a golden caramel color.
Quickly stir in the crispy peanuts, ensuring they are evenly coated with the caramel.
Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it out into an even layer.
Allow the nougat to cool and harden. This may take about 30 minutes to an hour.
Once hardened, break the nougat into pieces and enjoy!
