Kanyah

Kanyah is a compact Liberian sweet made from peanuts, toasted rice flour and sugar. The small pieces have a dense, nutty character and a fine, crumbly texture.

Roasted peanuts provide richness, while toasted rice flour adds a warm cereal flavour. Sugar brings a simple sweetness to the fine peanut-and-rice mixture.

Cubes, pyramids or squares are familiar shapes for this rendition. The pieces are served as a small snack, with the flavour of peanuts carrying through each bite and the rice giving the sweet its distinctive body.
