In this part of the video, the speaker explains a technique for making crystallized peanut candy. They start by melting a cup and a half of sugar into caramel, then add 100 ml of boiling water, ensuring the sugar dilutes quickly and avoids clumping. Next, the speaker incorporates additional sugar, a method from Minas Gerais, which helps the candy achieve a firm consistency. They then add two spoons of dulce de leche, noting it must be dulce de leche rather than condensed milk for authenticity. As the mixture boils and foams, it reaches the ideal consistency, also suitable for making traditional pé de moleque.
