What it is

Peanut butter drops are small, disc-shaped candies made primarily from peanut butter, sugar, and oil. They are typically produced by combining these ingredients and then molding or extruding the mixture into small pieces. The resulting product offers a concentrated peanut butter flavor and a semi-sweet taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add peanut butter drops for their distinct peanut butter flavor and sweetness, often used as a confectionery component or a topping. They are commonly found in baked goods like cookies and muffins, as well as in trail mixes and as a coating for other candies.

Health notes

Peanut butter drops are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily a source of sugar and fat. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar ingredients. While generally consumed in small amounts, excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health concerns.

Allergen info

Peanut butter drops are derived from peanuts, which are one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten unless added ingredients introduce it.
