What You Should Know

You'd spot this bag in the snack or candy aisle (or the better-for-you section) — an easy grab for movie nights, road trips, or a desk treat. It tastes indulgent and nostalgic, echoing classic candy-coated peanuts while marketed as a slightly cleaner option. The glossy shell, added syrups and stabilizers (gum acacia, tapioca syrup, carnauba wax) signal industrial processes to create texture, shine, and shelf stability, consistent with an ultra-processed snack.

Common Questions about Dark Chocolate Covered Peanuts, 13 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These peanuts are coated in dark chocolate, which offers some antioxidants, and they provide a decent mix of protein and healthy fats. But if you're watching your sugar intake, keep in mind they do have 13 grams of sugar per serving, mostly from the organic cane sugar.
