Where to find ingredients
Peanuts, sugar, baking soda, and corn syrup are commonly found in the baking aisle of most major supermarkets. Specialty Latin or Brazilian markets may carry specific types of peanuts or pre-roasted varieties.
Preparation method
- Start by mixing the peanuts, sugar, and corn syrup in a deep microwave-safe bowl
- Place the mixture in the microwave on high power for 10 minutes, remembering to pause the cooking a few times to stir well and ensure even cooking
- As soon as you remove the bowl from the appliance, add the baking soda and stir quickly so it fully incorporates into the mixture
- Immediately spread the candy over a stone countertop or a cool surface that has been previously greased with a little margarine
- Let the candy rest until completely cool, and only then, break it into smaller pieces to serve
