Production & Sourcing
First, raw peanuts are shelled and split, exposing the halves. These split peanuts are then coated with a mixture of honey, sugar, and sometimes other ingredients like salt or spices. The coating process involves roasting the peanuts until the honey mixture caramelizes, creating a sweet and crunchy outer layer. The result is a delicious combination of the nutty goodness of peanuts with the irresistible sweetness of honey, offering a delightful treat that can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in various culinary applications.
