Crunchy Sweet Peanuts with Coffee & Cinnamon

Ingredients

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups sugar
500g raw peanuts in shell
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Where to find ingredients

You can find raw peanuts in their shells at most supermarkets in the snacks or baking aisles. If not, look for them at local markets or specialty food stores. Brewed coffee is readily available at home. Sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and baking powder are standard pantry staples found in the baking section of any grocery store.

Preparation method

  1. In a pot, combine the sugar with the strong brewed coffee and place over medium heat
  2. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the syrup starts to thicken
  3. Add the raw peanuts in shell, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and baking powder to the pot
  4. Mix all ingredients well in the hot syrup until the mixture starts to dry out and pull away from the bottom of the pot
  5. As soon as it reaches a dry consistency, remove the pot from the heat
  6. Pour the peanut mixture onto a greased baking tray
  7. Place in a preheated oven at a very low temperature (around 120°C or 250°F) for about 15 minutes
  8. While in the oven, stir the peanuts occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even drying
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving or storing
