Preheat the oven to a low temperature.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Once set, cut into squares and serve.
