Preparation method
- In a saucepan, 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 skins, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and baking powder to the saucepan.
- Mix all ingredients well into the hot syrup until the mixture starts to dry and pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- As soon as it reaches a dry consistency, remove the pan from the heat.
- Pour the peanut mixture onto a greased baking sheet.
- Place in a preheated oven at a very low temperature (approximately 120°C) for about 15 minutes.
- While in the oven, stir the peanuts occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the sheet and to ensure even drying.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving or storing.
