Peanut puffs are a treat in Malaysia around Chinese New Year that I always looked forward to. Traditionally, it was deep fried, but I've changed it so that it can be baked, to reduce preparation time. Filled with sweet ground peanuts inside and crispy on the outside, it is one of my family's favorite treats. In Malaysia, there are mini peanut puff molds that you can purchase to cut down on the preparation time. I have obtained one myself, and it has really made it easier to make (though the picture is of the ones I made without a mold). Give it a try this Chinese New Year!
