Preparation method
- In a pot, combine the sugar with the strong brewed coffee and place over medium heat
- Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the syrup begins to thicken
- Add the raw peanuts with skin, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and baking powder to the pot
- Mix all ingredients well into the hot syrup until the mixture starts to dry and detach from the bottom of the pot
- Once it reaches a dry consistency, remove the pot from the heat
- Pour the peanut mixture onto a previously greased baking sheet
- Place in a preheated oven at a very low temperature (about 120°C) for approximately 15 minutes
