Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons chocolate powder drink mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons chocolate powder drink mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup water
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw peanuts in the baking or bulk snack aisles of most local supermarkets. Chocolate drink mix is commonly available in the breakfast aisle. As a substitute for chocolate drink mix, pure cocoa powder can be used, though you may need to adjust the sugar content slightly.
Preparation method
- Place the raw peanuts in a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Microwave on high power for 3 minutes to lightly toast them.
- Add the granulated sugar to the bowl.
- Stir in the chocolate powder drink mix.
- Add the baking powder.
- Pour in the water.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Microwave on high power for a total of 9 to 12 minutes.
- Pause the cooking process every 3 minutes to stir the mixture, ensuring the sugar syrup evenly coats all the nuts.
Observations
These sugar-coated peanuts are a classic snack and remarkably simple to prepare. The secret lies in diligent stirring, which ensures the sugar caramelizes evenly and coats every single nut perfectly.
