Fistkieh / Peanut Sticky Bars
A great nostalgic sweet that satisfies a sweet tooth! When I was a child, I remember my aunt (my mom’s sister) would visit us with a package of these sticky bars in her hands. I could never resist biting them, and years later I feel no different
I tested the recipe twice for best results! In my first attempt, I only added lemon juice to the sugar syrup. The result was quite o.k but a bit harder than the store-bought variety. The second time I added a pinch of baking soda to the syrup and was glad that it came out just the way it should be. With few ingredients and a pretty simple method, you will have a gorgeous sweet that can be eaten as a dessert or snack.
Ingredients:
5 cups peanuts, shelled and toasted
1/3 cup water
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1. Grease a 35×27 cm / 14x 10.5 inches baking sheet with a cooking spray or lightly grease with some oil.
2. Place the sugar, water and lemon juice in a large pot, stir and bring to a boil! Reduce heat to very low and simmer (uncovered) for 9 minutes. Remove from heat and directly add the baking soda;stir well.You will notice that the syrup will foam up a bit. Add the peanuts and stir well. Be fast to spread the fistkieh in the pan and level it with a metal spatula. Allow to cool down completely and cut into medium sized squares. Enjoy!
