What it is

Peanut butter candies are small, bite-sized confections with a peanut butter flavored center, often coated in chocolate or a candy shell. They are made by combining peanut butter with sugar, corn syrup, and other flavorings, then forming them into shapes and coating them.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add peanut butter candies to foods as a sweet, crunchy, or chewy inclusion. They provide a distinct peanut butter flavor and texture, commonly found in trail mixes, baked goods, and other snack items.

Health notes

Peanut butter candies are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are primarily a source of sugar and fat. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food additives used in their production. Evidence on the health effects of high sugar intake is extensive and points to potential risks like weight gain and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Allergen info

Peanut butter candies contain peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain milk or soy, depending on the specific ingredients used in the coating.
