Mexican Mazapan
This easy Mexican Mazapan candy is made with just roasted peanuts and powdered sugar. Blend everything until creamy, shape into little coins, and wrap for a simple no-cook homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted peanuts
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add the roasted peanuts and powdered sugar to a blender jar.
- Blend until the mixture becomes a coarse paste.
- Continue blending, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes very creamy and almost completely smooth.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto a square of cling wrap.
- Flatten it slightly into a thick coin.
- Wrap the mazapan completely with the cling wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use roasted peanuts for the best flavor.
- Unsalted peanuts are best if you prefer a traditionally sweet mazapan.
- Don't add water or oil. The natural oils from the peanuts will help create the creamy texture.
- Keep blending until the mixture is creamy and holds together easily when pressed.
- Store individually wrapped mazapan candies at room temperature in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.
- The candies can also be frozen for longer storage.
