Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanuts
- 0.75 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Roll each piece in the remaining granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Step 7
Optionally, wrap each Pastillas de Mani in small pieces of cellophane or parchment paper for easy serving and storage.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
