About CHOCOLATY PEANUT BUTTER HEARTS VALENTINE'S CANDY, CHOCOLATY PEANUT BUTTER HEARTS

Meijer Chocolaty Peanut Butter Hearts Valentine's Candy is a heart-shaped peanut butter compound candy sold under the Meijer private-label brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product is a seasonal Valentine's Day item in the candy category and combines a chocolate-style compound coating with a peanut butter filling, analogous in format to mainstream commercial peanut butter cups.

The ingredients are led by sugar, followed by hydrogenated vegetable oil from palm kernel and/or palm as the fat base. Ground peanuts provide the peanut butter filling character. Whey, lactose, and skim milk contribute dairy milk solids to the coating. Alkalized cocoa delivers the chocolate note. Peanut flour further reinforces the peanut flavor profile. Soy lecithin and sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) serve as emulsifiers. Salt seasons the product. Vanillin is listed as an artificial flavor in place of natural vanilla extract.

Nutritionally, this product provides 567 calories per 100 grams, making it calorie-dense. Fat is 33.3 grams per 100 grams, carbohydrates 56.7 grams, and protein 6.7 grams per 100 grams — the protein contribution is relatively notable for a candy product and comes from peanuts and dairy milk solids. No fiber is recorded. The serving size is 30 grams.

Allergens include peanuts (ground peanuts, peanut flour — a major allergen), dairy (whey, lactose, skim milk), and soy (lecithin). Sorbitol is present as an emulsifier and sugar alcohol, which at high intake can cause laxative effects. No wheat or eggs are listed. Not suitable for peanut allergy sufferers or vegan consumers. Hydrogenated palm kernel/palm oils are the primary fat source.
