Where to find ingredients
Peanuts, condensed milk, and chocolate drink mix powder can be found in the baking or international aisles of most supermarkets. Plain cookies are usually found in the cookie or cracker aisle. Roasted and skinless peanuts may be available pre-packaged in the snack or baking sections; if not, you can buy raw peanuts in the bulk bin or produce section and roast them yourself. Specialty Latin or Brazilian markets are also excellent places to find these ingredients.
Preparation method
- Roast the peanuts in a preheated oven or in a frying pan until lightly golden and aromatic

- Process everything until you get a fine and homogeneous crumb
- Transfer the peanut and cookie mixture to a bowl
- Add the chocolate drink mix powder and mix well
- Incorporate the condensed milk gradually, mixing until the dough is consistent and moldable
- Spread the dough evenly in a small, shallow pan
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up before cutting
