Veggies Don't Bite

Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and set aside.

Place coconut cream, sugar and maple syrup into a small pot and whisk together while heating over medium heat.

Continue to cook and whisk until you get a slow rolling boil, making sure to whisk the whole time. If you don’t whisk, the sugar will burn and stick to the pot.

Allow to boil, while whisking, for about 5 minutes until you see it start to thicken.

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture and whisk for about 4-5minutes until you see it thicken more and get very gelatinous like, almost goopy. You want to make sure to cook until you see this because if you don’t it won’t harden well. Remove from heat.

Add in the vanilla, salt and peanuts into the pot and stir until mixed. It will be thick and almost like a glob but keep mixing until everything comes together and the peanuts are well incorporated into the mixture. I like to use a spatula.

Spread mixture, pushing down to form, onto a parchment lined baking sheet or platter.

Allow it to cool on the counter for about 10-15 minutes.

Once cool and hard you can break it apart and enjoy!

Store in an air tight container in the fridge so it remains hard. If you leave it at room temp it can get a little chewy.
