Once the caramel is ready, in a bowl we will make a normal meringue and once that is ready, we will add the syrup to the meringue little by little as a thread while we continue to beat the meringue, leaving it like a very liquid meringue.

Once this is done, we mix it very well with the peanut butter and move to a mold hopefully made of silicone. If you don't have silicone you can place plastic wrap on the bottom of the mold, leaving it approximately 1 cm thick.
