Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw peanuts in the nuts and dried fruits aisle or in the baking section of your local supermarket. If cocoa powder is unavailable, high-quality drinking chocolate can be used as a substitute, though pure cocoa is recommended for the best flavor.
Preparation method
- Place all ingredients into a large pot, keeping in mind that the baking powder will cause the mixture to foam significantly.
- Stir the mixture continuously using a wooden spoon.
- Keep stirring until the sugar syrup crystallizes and stops sticking to the sides of the pot.
- Spread the coated peanuts out onto a baking tray.
- Place the tray in the oven to toast the peanuts until golden.
- Taste a sample to ensure they have reached your preferred level of crunchiness.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
