Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

This is a soft spoon dessert rather than a candy that sets at room temperature. Milk powder gives it body, and a small amount of water makes it possible to mix without a stove.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI Danbury Commissary List.

Make it

Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.

Ingredients

4 tbsp peanut butter
3 tbsp sweetened cocoa drink mix
3 tbsp powdered milk
2 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp chopped peanuts

Method

Mix cocoa drink mix and milk powder together, then work in the measured hot water to make a smooth thick paste.
Stir in peanut butter, pressing out powder pockets against the side of the bowl until the colour is even.
Divide into four small cups. The mixture should be spoonable; it is not intended to be poured into a tray and cut.
Top with chopped peanuts and serve, or refrigerate promptly for a firmer spoon dessert.

The useful detail

The name describes a soft peanut-and-cocoa dessert. Chilling may firm it, but no sliceable candy set is promised.

When the store is different

Use crushed pretzels instead of peanuts for the topping.

Serving & handling

Mix moist ingredients close to serving. Keep opened or mixed perishables refrigerated if they are not being eaten promptly. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
