Peanut Butter Candy
Couple of morning back,as i walked by my kitchen counter,i noticed freshly opened peanut butter jar.I also noticed the tracks of small finger in peanut butter.It was time to make peanut butter candy 🙂
Seems like Ugandan children like peanut just as much mine do. Not surprising knowing the fact that groundnut,as what peanut is called in Africa , is popular crop .
- You should must use heaping help from your kids.Its a requirement.Mine had so much fun mixing and mesuring and rolling it into small candy balls.Of course followed by eating 🙂
- It is super sweet and chewy. I keep it refrigerated so it stays that way.
- I used malted milk powder instead of regular milk powder, though I think wheat germs would have been healthier choice.
Recipe is from “The Multicultural Cookbook for Students”.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter chunky or creamy(I used creamy)
- 1 cup honey,slightly warm
- 1-1/2 to 2 cups malted milk powder
- *1 cup finely shredded dry coconut
Instructions
- Warm honey in a glass bowl,just so it is easy to mix.
- Add peanut butter to it.Add malted milk powder gradually,just enough to roll it into stiff peanut balls with clean hands.
- Roll each peanut ball in coconut.
- Let it refrigerate for 30 mins or so.
- Enjoy.
Notes
I ground the dry shredded coconut,just so it is finer and adheres better.
