Ingredients

Number of serving: 2

2 cups peanuts (shelled and skinned)

1 1/4 cup icing sugar

2 - 4 tablepsoons vegetable oil

3/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional if peanuts are already salted)

Preparation

Start by roasting peanuts . Preheat oven to 400 F. Put peanuts in a single layer on a baking tray.
Roast in oven for 10 minutes, rattling them a bit halfway through.
(You can do this step for pre-roasted peanuts too. Put your peanuts in the oven for 5 minutes to deepen their flavor, taking care not to burn them.)
Put the peanuts and 1 tbsp oil in a food processor. Grind the peanuts for around five minutes. Initially the peanuts will be very coarse.
If the mixture seems very dry, add a some more oil and keep grinding until the peanuts become paste.
Yes, peanuts will turn to a paste if they are continued to be processed. Scrape down the sides as required.
Add the sugar, cocoa powder and 1 tablepsoons oil and grind again. Keep processing until the sugar and cocoa powder is mixed thoroughly.
You may add more oil if the mixture does not mix properly or is too thick. Store in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator.
