Halaweeyat Ahmad

Ingredients

 * 2 bags of Ahmad Sweyweih (toasted, very thin vermicelli)
 * ⅓ cup of butter, melted
 * 1 (400 gram) can of sweetened condensed milk (or see substitution below)
 * ½ cup of finely ground nuts
 * ½ cup of desiccated coconut
 * ½ cup of powdered sugar

Directions

 * 1) Melt the butter in a large skillet.
 * 2) Break the vermicelli into very small pieces and add to the butter.
 * 3) Stir over medium-low heat for two minutes, until the butter is well mixed in the vermicelli.
 * 4) Remove to a bowl.
 * 5) Add the nuts, coconut and sweetened condensed milk.
 * 6) Stir with a spoon until well mixed.
 * 7) Press into small molds: (we use the 10ml cups that come with children's medicine or the scoop from a can of baby formula)
 * 8) First, dip the mold in the powdered sugar, making sure to coat all of the inside of the mold.
 * 9) Then, shake off the powdered sugar.
 * 10) Firmly press the mixture into the mold.
 * 11) Turn the mold upside down and tap the top of it with a spoon, until the "halaweeyat" fall out of the mold in a nice shape.
 * 12) Carefully place on a plate.
 * 13) Repeat with remaining mixture.
 * 14) Cover the "halaweeyat" and allow to sit for 2 hours (so the vermicelli will absorb the sweetened condensed milk).
