The disco is the classic pressed sandwich of the Cuban afternoon snack: a round bocadito roll, filled with whatever is at home and flattened in the round metal mold until the crust turns golden and crisp.

This simple, sweet version uses only creamy peanut butter, and it is perfect for breakfast, the kids' afternoon snack or a mid-afternoon craving. With the heat of the disco, the peanut butter turns soft and creamy, and the bread ends up flattened and golden.
