About DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUTS, DARK CHOCOLATE
Meijer Dark Chocolate Peanuts is a private-label confection under the Meijer brand, part of Meijer, Inc.'s store-brand snack portfolio sold across its Midwest US supercenter chain. The product consists of whole peanuts enrobed in a dark chocolate shell and finished with a confectioner's glaze coating.
The dominant ingredients are dark chocolate and peanuts. The dark chocolate coating is composed of sugar, alkali-processed chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milkfat, soy lecithin as an emulsifier, and vanilla. The peanuts are prepared in canola oil. Additional coating and finishing ingredients include corn syrup, modified tapioca starch, and confectioner's glaze. Allergens present include peanuts (primary ingredient), dairy (milkfat), and soy (soy lecithin).
Per 100 grams, this product delivers 550 calories, making it a high calorie-density snack, as expected for a nut-and-chocolate combination. The macronutrient profile shows 42.5 g of fat, 35 g of carbohydrates, and 17.5 g of protein per 100 g. Dietary fiber is 7.5 g per 100 g, contributed by both the cocoa solids in the dark chocolate and the natural fiber in peanuts. The serving size is 40 g. The fat profile reflects the unsaturated fatty acid composition of peanuts combined with the saturated and monounsaturated fats of cocoa butter and milkfat.
This product functions as a sweet-savory snack confection. It is not suitable for individuals with peanut, dairy, or soy allergies. The protein content at 17.5 g per 100 g is notably higher than most candy-coated snacks due to the peanut base, and may appeal to consumers seeking snacks with a more balanced macronutrient profile within the confectionery category.
