How to Make Crispy Peanut Snacks: A Simple Guide

Crispy peanut snacks, or "huasheng xiaosu," are beloved for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture. Here’s an easy, step-by-step guide to making them at home.

Ingredients:

- 150g roasted peanuts, skins removed

- 100g flour

- 50g powdered sugar

- 50g butter, softened

- 1 egg yolk

- A pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Crush peanuts into small pieces. In a bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, and softened butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and knead into a smooth dough. Fold in peanut pieces evenly.

2. Shape the snacks: Pinch small dough portions (about 10g each) and roll into balls or oval shapes. Place them on a baking lined with parchment paper, leaving space for expansion.

3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool completely—they will get crunchier as they cool.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the dough.

- Adjust sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference.

- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.

These homemade peanut snacks are perfect with tea or as a quick snack. Enjoy the delicious, buttery goodness!
