- Preparation: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (55.2 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: peanut
Ingredients
- 40 g Peanuts, roasted
- 15 g Sugar
- 0.2 g Salt
Method
- Makes 1 portion (1-2 small bars); multiply by 8 for a full batch. Grind the roasted peanuts finely in a food processor until they form a coarse, slightly oily meal.
- Add the sugar and salt and pulse again until just combined; the mixture should hold together when pressed.
