- Gradually incorporate the peanut butter into the bowl while continuing to mix.
- Remove the mixture from the bowl and transfer it to a large mixing basin.
- Slowly add the biscuit crumbs to the mixture, kneading with your hands until the dough is fully combined and reaches a pliable, moldable consistency.
- Transfer the mixture into a rectangular baking dish or tray.
