Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk and peanut butter in the baking or breakfast aisles of major local supermarkets like SM Supermarket, Robinsons Supermarket, or Landmark. Cornstarch biscuits (often labeled as 'mariang' or 'cornstarch' biscuits) are available in the biscuit section of local grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Pulse the cornstarch biscuits in a blender until they reach a fine, crumbly consistency.
- In a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer, combine the sweetened condensed milk and margarine, beating until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Gradually incorporate the peanut butter into the mixture, continuing to beat on low speed.
- Remove the mixture from the mixer and transfer it into a large mixing bowl.
- Slowly add the biscuit crumbs to the bowl, kneading the mixture by hand until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough is pliable and firm.
- Press the dough evenly into a rectangular baking dish or pyrex container.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture is completely firm.
- Cut the chilled slab into neat bite-sized squares before serving.
