Palanqueta is a traditional Mexican candy made primarily from peanuts and sugar. It is often prepared by mixing roasted peanuts with a caramel-like syrup, which is then poured into a mold and allowed to cool. Once set, the mixture is cut into small rectangular pieces, making it easy to enjoy as a snack.
This sweet treat is popular in various regions of Mexico and is often sold at local markets and festivals. Palanqueta can also be made with other ingredients, such as pumpkin seeds or coconut, adding different flavors and textures to this beloved confection.
