Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanuts
- 0.75 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
Toast 1 cup of peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and allow them to cool completely.
Once cooled, grind the toasted peanuts into a fine powder using a food processor or blender. Be careful not to over-process as it might turn into peanut butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground peanuts, 0.75 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 0.5 cup of powdered milk. Mix well until the ingredients form a smooth, sticky dough.
Lightly sprinkle a clean work surface with granulated sugar, using about 2-3 tablespoons of the 0.25 cup. Place the dough on the surface and knead it lightly to incorporate some of the sugar.
Roll the dough into a long, cylindrical log, about 1/2 inch in thickness. Slice the log into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in length.
Roll each piece in the remaining granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Optionally, wrap each Pastillas de Mani in small pieces of cellophane or parchment paper for easy serving and storage.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
