This sweet treat is a Brazilian beauty. A traditional candy (thought in my opinion more a slice than candy), this treat is simple, quick and super tasty.

Pacoca De Amendoim or ‘Pacoca’ is very common to serve during the Festa Junina, an annual Brazilian festival among many other occasions.

With only 5 ingredients this ”candy” can we whipped up in 10 minutes with no need for any baking as the fridge will do the setting for you.
