Scorched Peanut Bar

The Scorched Peanut Bar is a popular snack item that originated in Australia. It is a candy bar that consists of a nougat-like center, coated with caramel, and then rolled in scorched peanuts. The bar is known for its unique flavor and texture, which is a combination of sweet, salty, and slightly smoky due to the scorched peanuts.

History

The Scorched Peanut Bar was first introduced in the 1940s by the Australian confectionery company, Golden Boronia. The bar quickly gained popularity due to its unique flavor and became a staple in many Australian households. However, in the late 1990s, the production of the Scorched Peanut Bar was discontinued due to declining sales. In 2015, the bar was reintroduced to the market by the company The Professors.

Ingredients

The main ingredients of the Scorched Peanut Bar are peanuts, sugar, glucose syrup, and salt. The peanuts are first scorched, which gives them a slightly smoky flavor. They are then coated with a caramel made from sugar and glucose syrup. The bar is then rolled in the scorched peanuts, giving it a crunchy texture.

Production

The production process of the Scorched Peanut Bar involves several steps. First, the peanuts are scorched in a large oven. They are then coated with caramel and rolled onto a nougat-like center. The bars are then cut into the desired size and packaged for distribution.

Popularity

Despite being discontinued in the late 1990s, the Scorched Peanut Bar has maintained a cult following. Many Australians remember the bar from their childhood and were excited when it was reintroduced in 2015. The bar is now available in many supermarkets and online stores.
