In a deep non-stick pan add all the ingredients, except the vanilla essence.
Using a wooden spatula stir continuously over low heat, until mixture bubbles.
Add the essence and continue stirring until mixture forms a sticky mass and leaves the sides. It will form like a ball.
Transfer the mixture into a greased tray.
Press tightly using a plastic cover on your palm or back of spoon.
When slightly cool, cut into squares. Separate into pieces when fully cooled.

Note: Normally cocoa is used when groundnuts are used.
Its up to your taste.
