Think the secret is heating the peanuts through before adding to the mixture. I put mine in the oven while it is heating up.

if you roast the peanuts first they will taste better

the muttom fat the granny used to use would have been kidney fat which is diffrent from the rest of the fat on a beast its like crumble butter with very little mutton taste ,it sits around the kidneys in a big hunk .ive used it in boiled puddings

Thanks whitehead that's really interesting I did roast the peanuts first but have to say it was such a pain taking all the skins off the peanuts!

put the roasted peanuts inbetween two tea towels and rub them, most of the skins fall off.

I roughly chop my roasted peanuts in the food processer and they go a lot further and do not fall out of the biscuit so easily.

Yes whitehead, I remember my nan used to make puddings like that. However I tried to replicate it usinga Nigella Lawson recipeusing todaysversion of Kiwi suet and OMG, it was dreadful! Suet these days is SO different. For peanut brownies I use the old Edmonds recipe, a good quality cocoa, andmake them with margarine. I buy budget blanched peanuts and lightly roast them, before adding to the mixture

I have so much trouble making PB since coming to Oz! I have my faithful Edmonds cookbook but I think it's because the peanuts over here (like every other thing) are huge & they fall to pieces unless I take out half the peanuts ..the cocoa here sucks too but thankfully I have found nestles baking cocoa so they are no longer anemic looking blobs!
I will just have to remember to chop up the nuts first maybe that will work?

Buy the homebrand cocoa...usually in the aisle by the condensed milks etc.Not the baking aisle.

Have been making Peanut brownies every week for my Hubby he loves them. I roast peanuts first and put lots of peanuts in! It is such a easy recipe.
