500g raw peanuts
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons chocolate drink powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons chocolate drink powder
1 teaspoon baking powder

Where to find ingredients
Raw peanuts and baking supplies can be found in local supermarkets such as Chipiku or Shoprite. If you cannot find raw peanuts, roasted, unsalted peanuts are an acceptable substitute, though they will require less initial toasting time.
Preparation method
- Place the raw peanuts in a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes to lightly toast them.
- Add the sugar to the bowl.
- Stir in the chocolate drink powder.
- Add the baking powder.
- Pour in the water.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Microwave on high for a total of 9 to 12 minutes.
- Stop the microwave every 3 minutes to stir the mixture, ensuring the sugar syrup evenly coats all the peanuts.
Observations
These candied peanuts are a classic treat and couldn't be simpler to prepare. The secret to success lies in pausing the cooking process to stir, which ensures the sugar caramelizes evenly and coats every single nut to perfection.
