Crunchy Sweet Peanuts with Coffee and Cinnamon (Amendoim doce crocante)

Ingredients

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups sugar
500 g raw peanuts with skin
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Where to find ingredients

All ingredients, such as raw peanuts, cocoa powder, and cinnamon, can be found in local grocery stores and supermarkets. If raw peanuts with skin are unavailable, shelled peanuts can be used as a substitute, although they will slightly alter the final texture.

Preparation method

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sugar and the strong brewed coffee over medium heat.
  2. Stir continuously until the sugar has fully dissolved and the syrup begins to thicken.
  3. Add the raw peanuts with skin, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and baking powder to the pot.
  4. Stir all ingredients thoroughly into the hot syrup until the mixture begins to dry out and pulls away from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Once the mixture reaches a dry, crystallized consistency, remove the pot from the heat.
  6. Pour the peanut mixture onto a greased baking sheet, spreading it into a single layer.
  7. Place the sheet into a preheated oven at a very low temperature (around 120°C) for approximately 15 minutes.
  8. While in the oven, stir the peanuts occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even drying.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving or storing.
