In Brasil it is called pé de moleque. It can be cut into squares or rolled into small bolls. Any kind of nuts used should be lightly roasted.

I started learning basic cooking since when was 8 years old. Was brought up in Kenya and India. Worked and studied in Brasil for more than 40 years. All my friends insisted me to open an Indian restaurant in Brasil, but I didn't want to leave my job. Now I am retired and dedicate most of my time in traveling and working on my blog.
