Step 1

Add the peanuts and powdered sugar to a food processor. Pulse until you get a fine and powdery texture.

Step 2

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and arrange a 2-inch cookie cutter mold on top.

Step 3

Scoop 2 ½ tablespoons of the ground mixture into the cookie mold and begin pressing it down with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Press firmly to really pack the peanut mixture into the mold.

Step 4

Remove the mazapán very gently from the mold by lightly pushing down the sides as you slide the mold out. Don’t push from the center.

Step 5

Carefully transfer the mazapán onto a plate to serve or wrap in cling wrap to eat later.
