What it is

Peanut toffee pieces are a confectionery ingredient made from roasted peanuts coated in a hard, brittle sugar candy. The toffee is typically made by boiling sugar, corn syrup, and butter, then adding the peanuts and allowing the mixture to cool and harden before breaking it into pieces.

Why it's used

These pieces are primarily used as a textural and flavor component in sweet applications. They add a crunchy bite and a sweet, nutty taste, commonly found in candies, baked goods like cookies and bars, and ice cream.

Health notes

Peanut toffee pieces are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The primary health consideration is their high sugar and fat content, typical of candies. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food additives used in confectionery, but specific evaluations for 'peanut toffee pieces' as a distinct ingredient are not typically found. High intake of sugary, fatty foods can contribute to health issues.

Allergen info

Peanuts are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, peanut toffee pieces are considered a major allergen. This ingredient does not contain gluten.
