Ingredients

Check off the ingredients you have.

1 pound of peanuts
½ cup of milk
1½ teaspoons of honey
1½ cups of white sugar

Method

Grind the peanuts.
Bring the milk to a boil with the honey and sugar.
Let it boil for about two minutes and check the consistency: take a little with a spoon and touch it; it should stick slightly to your fingers.
Remove from heat and add the ground peanuts, stirring constantly while incorporating them.
Beat until a thick paste forms.
Pour the paste into a cardboard mold placed on a damp cloth and press it well so that it becomes compact.
Let it dry and then cut it into pieces.
