Here is a quick and delicious 3-ingredient recipe to make traditional Brazilian sweet paçoca at home:

🛠️ Ingredients

• 2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts (skinless)

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 pinch salt

📋 Instructions

1. Blend: Place the peanuts, sugar, and salt into a food processor or a high-powered blender.

2. Process: Pulse the mixture carefully. You want the peanuts to release their natural oils and bind with the sugar, creating a texture like wet sand. Be careful not to over-blend, or it will turn into peanut butter!

3. Shape: Press the mixture firmly into a square baking dish lined with parchment paper, smoothing it down with the back of a spoon. Alternatively, pack the mixture tightly into cookie cutters or small molds.

4. Set & Cut: Let it rest for about 15 to 30 minutes to firm up, then slice it carefully into squares or rectangles. Enjoy!.
