Ingredients

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 jar of peanut butter
1 package (200 g) of cornstarch biscuits
1 tablespoon of margarine

Where to find ingredients

Sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter can be found in the baking and spreads aisles of local markets and supermarkets in Monrovia. Cornstarch biscuits are available in the biscuit section of local grocery stores; if unavailable, plain butter cookies or digestive biscuits can be used as a substitute.

Preparation method

  1. Process the cornstarch biscuits in a blender until they resemble a fine crumb or sandy texture.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine the sweetened condensed milk and margarine, beating until the mixture is uniform.
  3. Gradually add the peanut butter to the mixer bowl while continuing to beat the mixture.
  4. Remove the mixture from the stand mixer and transfer it to a large bowl.
  5. Slowly fold in the biscuit crumbs. Mix and knead by hand until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough is pliable.
  6. Transfer the dough into a glass baking dish or tray.
  7. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set firmly.
  8. Cut the chilled mixture into small squares before serving.
