No-cook Caramel Pastillas

Ingredients

• 1 can (14 ounces) dulce de leche
• 1 3/4 cups powdered full-cream milk ( (I used Nido))
• 1/4 cup dry-roasted peanuts (chopped)
• 1/2 cup sugar

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine dulce de leche, full cream milk and peanuts. With a spoon, stir together until well-combined. Refrigerate for about 10 to 15 minutes to firm up a bit for easier handling.

2. 2

   Scoop about 1/2 teaspoon and roll into smooth balls about 1/2-inch diameter. Or roll into 1-inch long logs. Roll pastillas in sugar until fully coated.

3. 3

   Wrap each pastillas with a piece of white paper (resulting into a "tube") and then wrap with the colored Japanese paper. Insert the sides of the Japanese paper into the white paper "tube" to completely seal pastillas.
