Production & Sourcing
Butter toffee peanuts are made by first roasting raw peanuts to enhance their nutty flavor and crunchy texture. A mixture of butter, sugar, and sometimes other flavorings like vanilla or salt is then heated until it reaches a caramelized consistency. The roasted peanuts are then coated evenly with the hot toffee mixture, allowing them to cool and harden into a crunchy shell.
