Mazapanes de Cacahuate (Peanut Marzipan)
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
1½ cups powdered sugar

PREPARATION:
Grind the peanuts in a food processor to break them up. Add the sugar and continue processing until the peanuts release their oil and a compact paste is formed. This will take a bit of time, so be patient. Put some of the paste into a 2-inch diameter cookie cutter. Press it down until compact. You want it to come up about halfway in the cutter after compacting. Store covered in the refrigerator.
