They can also be incorporated into the batter of cookies or muffins to add a sweet, nutty crunch. When baking, they can be added towards the end of the baking process to maintain their texture. Their sweet and nutty profile makes them versatile for both simple enjoyment and as an ingredient.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain roasted peanuts, these goodies have a distinct sweet maple coating that adds a sugary crunch. They are sweeter than standard salted peanuts and offer a different flavor profile than those with savory seasonings. The glaze provides a noticeable textural contrast to the natural firmness of the peanut.

How to keep the rest
