Preparing the treacle syrup by taking 1/2 c roasted peanuts and ground with mortar and pestle; add in the sweetened coco flakes and grind in other ingredients to make a sauce or syrup in a medium mixing bowl and proceed to heat up the dessert stew and taking the portion of treacle stir in until flavoured and mixed over MED heat.
