warningStay safe

The peanut candy is extremely hot right out of the pan, be careful not to burn your hands when flattening.

Use a strainer to drain the oil from the peanuts, pour them hot into a pan (you can use parchment paper if worried about sticking), and use a scraper to flatten and pack them tightly while hot, making sure to leave no gaps.

Watch out

You must flatten it while hot and pack it tightly without leaving gaps, otherwise it will fall apart and fail to form when cooled.

warningStay safe

Be careful with your fingers when using a sharp knife to cut the candy to avoid cuts.

Flip the mold onto a cutting board to unmold, cut into thin strips or squares with a knife while hot, not too thick, and let cool before eating.
