2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons chocolate powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder

Where to find ingredients
Raw peanuts can be found in local spice markets or grocery stores. For substitutes, cocoa powder can be used instead of chocolate powder, and refined white sugar is recommended for the best results.
Preparation method
- Place all ingredients into a large pot, as the baking powder will cause significant foaming.
- Stir continuously with a wooden spoon.
- Continue stirring until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pot.
- Spread the peanuts onto a baking tray.
- Place in the oven to roast.
- Test the texture periodically.
- Remove from the oven once they reach your desired level of crunch.
