Ingredients

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • cup milk (or as needed)
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups dry roasted salted peanuts, finely chopped
  • 1 pound cake, cut into bite-size cubes

Directions

Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, pour in the confectioners' sugar. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly. Keep whisking until the mixture reaches a smooth, thin frosting consistency. Add the vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined.

Step 2: Place the chopped peanuts into a separate bowl. Line a flat surface or a large plate with wax paper for easy cleanup later.

Step 4: Place the coated pound cake cube on the wax paper to dry. Repeat this process with the remaining cake cubes.

Allow the pieces to dry completely before serving. Enjoy these sweet and savory treats at any gathering!
