Ingredients
500g raw peanuts
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons chocolate powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 dessert spoon baking powder
2 dessert spoons chocolate powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Where to find ingredients
You can find raw peanuts in the baking or bulk section of local supermarkets. For the chocolate powder, standard cocoa-based drink mix or unsweetened cocoa powder works well. Always ensure your pot is large enough to prevent the mixture from boiling over due to the baking powder reaction.
Preparation method
- Place all ingredients into a large pot, as the baking powder will cause the mixture to foam significantly.
- Stir continuously with a wooden spoon.
- Continue cooking until the syrup thickens and clings to the peanuts.
- Keep stirring until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot.
- Spread the coated peanuts onto a baking sheet.
- Place in the oven to finish roasting.
- Taste and remove once they reach your desired level of crunchiness.
