What Is Paçoca?

Paçoca — also affectionately known as paçoquinha — is a traditional Brazilian sweet made from roasted, ground peanuts pressed together with sugar and salt. The name comes from the Tupi pá-soc, which means "crumble" or "crush" — a reference to the traditional process of grinding peanuts.
