Let’s learn to make Peanut coconut jaggery bars in easy to understand quick steps.

Cover the baking tray with the foil paper and set aside.
Heat clarified butter in another pan. Add jaggery and palm sugar to it. Cook till a thick syrup is formed.
Add peanuts, desiccated coconut and mix well.

Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Cut into the desired shape, but don’t take out the bars yet.
Let it cool completely. Now take out your bars, and remove the foil paper. Store these yummy bars in an air-tight container for 7-8 days. Enjoy!
