Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp chocolate powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp chocolate powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup water
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw peanuts in the dry goods or baking aisle of local supermarkets in Sierra Leone, often sold in open-air markets as groundnuts. If chocolate powder is unavailable, a high-quality cocoa powder mixed with a little extra sugar can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the raw peanuts in a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Microwave on high power for 3 minutes to lightly toast the peanuts.
- Add the sugar to the bowl.
- Stir in the chocolate powder.
- Add the baking powder to the mixture.
- Pour in the water.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in the bowl.
- Microwave on high power for a total of 9 to 12 minutes.
- Stop the cooking process every 3 minutes to stir the mixture, ensuring the sugar syrup evenly coats all the peanuts.
Observations
These candied peanuts are a classic snack and incredibly simple to prepare. The secret to success lies in diligently pausing the process to stir, which ensures the sugar caramelizes evenly, coating every single nut for a delightful crunch.
