- 28 ounces condensed milk equivalent to 2 cans
- 3 tablespoons peanuts roasted
Chop the peanuts. Set aside.
Pour condensed milk on a cooking pot. Let boil. Stir constantly while boiling for 10 minutes.
Lower the heat. Add chopped peanuts. Continue cooking while stirring for another 10 minutes or until consistency becomes paste-like.
Transfer yema mixture to a bowl.
Start wrapping the yema candies individually on a pre-cut cellophane. (Note: The dimensions of my cellophane were 4x4 inches. You can decrease the dimension for smaller candies.)
Let it cool down before eating. Share and enjoy!
