Peanut paçoca

Paçoca de amendoim is a Brazilian candy typical from São Paulo cuisine, originating in the interior of São Paulo. It is made out of ground peanuts, sugar, and salt. Some recipes also add flour, such as corn flour, oat flour or cassava flour. Typical of the São Paulo Caipira cuisine, it is also present in other states of the country (specially in regions of the historical Paulistania such as Minas Gerais and Paraná (state)), being either manufactured or home-made. Paçoca is also very common during the Festa Junina, an annual festivity that celebrates the caipira lifestyle in Brazil, in addition to being a tradition during Lent and religious festivals in the cities of the Paraíba Valley, such as the artisanal paçoca from Paraibuna. It is known for its distinct dry texture and sweet taste, and is one of the most beloved Brazilian candies.
