Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and biscuits in the baking aisle of any local supermarket in Botswana. For the peanut butter, choose a standard, smooth variety from the spreads section. If preferred, butter can be used as a substitute for margarine for a richer flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Process the digestive biscuits in a food processor or blender until you achieve a fine, sandy crumb texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and margarine, whisking until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
- Gradually fold in the peanut butter, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Gradually add the biscuit crumbs to the peanut mixture, kneading by hand until the dough is uniform and malleable.
- Press the dough firmly into a rectangular baking dish or glass container.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight, to ensure the mixture sets firmly.
- Slice into small squares before serving.
