I urge you to try this unsual, new stuff ...whatever you wanna call it, a candy?


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup pinipig (puffed rice), toasted
3 tablespoons langka, (jackfruit) chopped
1 can condensed milk
1 cup squash, boiled and mashed
6 pieces egg yolks
2 tablespoons cashew units or peanuts, finely chopped
3/4/ cups white sugar

Recipe



Procedure**

Mix pinipig and langka in condensed milk. Set aside.

In another bowl combine butter, squash, egg yolks and cashew nuts. Add to the pinipig mixture and mix thoroughly. Transfer to a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. When it thick enough to hold its shape, remove from heat. Cool mixture. Form 1/2 tablespoon mixture into balls and roll in sugar. Wrap each in cellophane.
