How to Make African Peanut Butter Candy

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ½ cup honey. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup powdered milk (or wheat germ) to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Add more powdered milk or wheat germ, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Roll the mixture into small 1-inch balls or patties.
  4. Spread ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut in a shallow dish.
  5. Roll each peanut butter ball or patty in the coconut to coat evenly.
  6. Place the coated candies side-by-side on a dish lined with wax paper. Cover with another sheet of wax paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Serve chilled as a delicious and satisfying sweet treat!
