Ingredients
500 g raw peanuts
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 coffee spoon baking powder
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 coffee spoon baking powder
1/4 cup water
Where to find ingredients
Look for raw peanuts, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and water at supermarkets, wholesale grocers or the baking aisle. If needed, a local substitute for the cocoa powder can be drinking chocolate powder, but the original ingredient is best.
Preparation method
- Place the peanuts in a microwave-safe glass bowl
- Microwave for 3 minutes on high power to lightly roast them
- Add the sugar
- Stir in the cocoa powder
- Add the baking powder
- Finish with the water
- Mix all the ingredients very well in the bowl
- Microwave on high power for 9 to 12 minutes
- Stop the cooking every 3 minutes to stir the mixture and make sure the sugar coats all the peanuts
Observations
These sweet peanuts are a classic snack and very simple to make. The key is to respect the stirring breaks, which help the sugar caramelise evenly over every peanut.
