Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw, unroasted peanuts and baking staples in the baking aisle or bulk wholefood section of most Irish supermarkets like Dunnes Stores, Tesco, or SuperValu. If you cannot find cocoa powder, drinking chocolate is a common, albeit sweeter, local substitute.
Preparation method
- Place all ingredients into a large, deep saucepan, as the baking powder will cause the mixture to foam up significantly.
- Stir continuously using a wooden spoon.
- Keep stirring until the syrup coats the peanuts and the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Spread the coated peanuts out evenly onto a baking tray.
- Place them in the oven to roast until they reach your desired level of crunchiness.
- Check frequently to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven once perfectly toasted to your preference.
