Where to find ingredients
Peanuts, sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate powder can be found in the baking aisle or international foods section of most supermarkets. Plain biscuits are also commonly found in the cookie or cracker aisle. If you can't find specifically 'plain' biscuits, any simple, relatively unsweetened cookie like a digestive biscuit or shortbread can be a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Toast the peanuts in a preheated oven or in a skillet until lightly golden and aromatic
- Avoid over-toasting to prevent bitterness
- Let the peanuts cool completely after toasting
- In a food processor, add the plain biscuits and the toasted peanuts
- Process everything until a fine and homogeneous crumb is obtained
- Transfer the peanut and biscuit mixture to a bowl
- Add the chocolate powder and mix well
- Incorporate the sweetened 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
- Cut into small squares or use cutters to shape the paçoca
- Serve and enjoy!
