1

Preheat the oven to a low temperature.

2

Spread 400 grams of raw peanuts on a baking sheet without oil and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until toasted.

3

In a food processor, process the roasted peanuts until they form a paste, adding 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil to help achieve the right consistency.

4

In a saucepan, combine 300 grams of sugar and 100 grams of water, and bring to a boil.

5

Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the sugar mixture and cook until it reaches 118°C (244°F), checking for the 'soft ball' stage.

6

Once the sugar mixture reaches the right temperature, pour it into the whipped egg whites while continuously beating until the mixture cools to room temperature and forms stiff peaks.

7

In a separate bowl, mix a portion of the meringue with the peanut paste until well combined.

8

To create the marbled effect, separate a third of the mixture and mix it with cocoa powder to taste, adjusting the amount based on preference.

9

Layer the peanut mixture and cocoa mixture alternately in a lined baking dish to create a marbled effect.

10

Smooth the top and refrigerate until set, about 2-3 hours.

11

Once set, cut into squares and serve.
