Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons chocolate powder
1 dessert spoon ground cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons chocolate powder

Where to find ingredients
Raw peanuts can be found at local markets such as Kariakoo or in the legume aisles of major supermarkets. Baking powder, high-quality cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon are readily available in the baking or spice sections of grocery stores throughout Dar es Salaam.
Preparation method
- Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, as the baking powder will cause the mixture to foam significantly.
- Stir continuously using a wooden spoon over medium heat.
- Continue stirring until the sugar syrup crystallizes and stops sticking to the sides of the pot.
- Spread the coated peanuts evenly across a baking sheet.
- Place the tray into a preheated oven to roast until golden and crispy.
- Test the crunchiness to ensure they are toasted to your desired preference.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving.
