Zoute Pinda

The chocolate coating is thin enough that the salty peanut crunch comes through right away, and the caramel layer is just sticky enough to be satisfying. I keep one in my desk for the afternoon slump and it actually holds me over without that sugar crash.

The layer of soft protein is what sold me—it keeps the whole thing from being just another sticky candy. I’ve been grabbing one after lunch when the sweet tooth hits, and the no-added-sugar bit means I don’t feel wrecked afterward.

The salted peanuts give it that perfect crunch, and the smooth caramel melts right into the chocolate without being too sweet. No added sugar means I don’t feel guilty snacking on a couple after dinner. These are dangerously easy to finish.
