Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 dessertspoon baking powder
2 dessertspoons chocolate powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 dessertspoon baking powder
2 dessertspoons chocolate powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw peanuts, sugar, and baking powder at any local supermarket or neighborhood trade store in the dry goods or baking aisle. Chocolate powder and cinnamon are also readily available in the spice or beverage sections.
Preparation method
- Combine all the ingredients in a large heavy-bottomed pot, as the baking powder will cause the mixture to foam up significantly during cooking.
- Stir the mixture continuously using a wooden spoon to ensure even coating.
- Continue cooking until the syrup crystallizes and stops sticking to the pan.
- Spread the coated peanuts out evenly onto a large baking tray.
- Place the tray in the oven to roast until they reach your desired crunchiness.
- Keep a close eye on them while roasting to ensure the sugar does not burn.
- Remove from the oven, let them cool completely, and store in an airtight container.
