Preparing the Mixture: Laying the Foundation
Begin by adding the roasted peanuts to a large skillet. These will provide that delightful crunch which contrasts beautifully with the creamy condensed milk. Pour in the two cans of condensed milk and the milk powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined. The milk powder adds a subtle depth to the flavor and helps create the perfect texture.
Cooking the Mixture: The Magic Happens Here
Turn the heat to medium and continue stirring the mixture for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to begin thickening. Constant stirring is crucial to prevent burning. Once the mixture begins to thicken, add the unsalted butter. Continue to stir until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the skillet and holds its shape – this signals that it’s ready.
Setting the Mixture: Patience is Key
Grease a container generously with margarine to prevent sticking. Choose a container that will allow you to spread the mixture to a thickness of about 1-2 cm. Pour in the mixture and spread it evenly using a spatula. Allow the mixture to cool completely – this will take a few hours – and allow it to set firm.
Cutting and Coating: The Finishing Touches
Once cooled and set, carefully unmold the mixture onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares of your desired size. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle or coat the squares with additional milk powder.
