1 Tbsp	caster sugar
5	cardamom pods (seeds ground in mortar & pestle)
pinch	dried chilli flakes
small handful	plain peanuts, roughly chopped
for garnish	edible candy hearts (optional)

About Pink Ribbon Breakfast:
May is Pink Ribbon Breakfast Month, where thousands of Kiwis invite their friends, family and workmates to breakfast to raise much-needed funds for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. More than 3,300 Kiwi women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and around 650 women will die from breast cancer each year, so the need for support has never been higher. The money raised will help to fund breast cancer education, innovative research, and support for patients and their families as they navigate through their breast cancer journeys.
