Paçoca (Brazilian Peanut Candy)

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in the food processor. Pulse - stopping every now and then to open and stir - until the mixture is fine and resembles wet sand. Be careful not to overdo it, or you'll end up with peanut butter!

Step 2

Fill a small round (or the shape of your choice) cookie cutter, firmly pressing down with your fingers until it is level and compact.

Step 3

Carefully unmold, using your fingers to help each paçoca push through the cookie cutter.

Step 4

Repeat with the remaining mixture to make around 15 peanut candies total.

Step 5

Enjoy! You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
