  • It is important to cook the peanuts until they are golden brown and fragrant. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more delicious.
  • Be careful not to overcook the peanuts, as this will make them dry and brittle.
  • When making the syrup, it is important to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and to stir the mixture constantly. This will help to prevent the syrup from burning.
  • Once the syrup has reached the desired consistency, it is important to add the peanuts and mix them well. This will help to coat the peanuts evenly with the syrup.
  • It is important to let the pastillas de mani cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and become firm.
