Ingredients
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
1/4 cup water
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw peanuts and baking powder at any local supermarket or general store, usually in the baking or bulk staples section. If chocolate drink powder is unavailable, cocoa powder mixed with a little extra sugar is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the raw peanuts in a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes to lightly toast the peanuts.
- Add the sugar to the bowl.
- Mix in the chocolate drink powder.
- Add the baking powder to the mixture.
- Pour in the water.
- Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly within the bowl.
- Microwave on high for a total of 9 to 12 minutes.
- Pause the cooking every 3 minutes to stir the mixture and ensure the sugar coats all the peanuts evenly.
Observations
These sugar-crusted peanuts are a classic, no-fuss snack. The secret to achieving the perfect texture lies in pausing the cooking process to stir, which ensures the sugar caramelizes evenly and coats every single peanut.
