Peanut Wafers

Peanut wafers are a confection made from roasted peanuts, sugar, and often other ingredients like cocoa, butter, and flavorings. They are typically formed into thin, crisp discs or shapes. The process involves grinding roasted peanuts and mixing them with sugar and other ingredients before being pressed or molded.

Peanut wafers are primarily used as a flavoring and textural component in confectionery. They add a distinct peanut taste and a crunchy element to products. They are commonly found in assorted chocolate boxes, candy bars, and other sweet treats.

Peanut wafers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of protein and healthy fats from the peanuts. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'peanut wafers' as a distinct entity are not typically documented. Consumption in moderation is advised as part of a balanced diet.
