Trader Joe??s Butter Toffee Coated Virginia Peanuts are proof that simplicity can be sublime. There are just four ingredients in this classic combo ??peanuts, sugar, butter, and salt. Sweet, crunchy, and with just enough salt to complement said sweetness and crunchiness, there??s something about their specific combination of caramelized, crystallized sugar on the outside, and savory, nutty goodness on the inside that makes you feel like a kid again. Maybe it??s that nostalgic feeling that makes them just the right kind of snack to have on hand for movie nights, trail mixes, or for baking into cookies ??and now that you??re a grown-up, you can lick the spoon with impunity!

We??re not usually prone to making broad, sweeping generalizations, but we do contend that pretty much any food in the world can be improved by covering in a coat of rich, sweet butter toffee. Of course, we??ll concede that certain foods fare better with a butter toffee coat than others (though our experiments with Butter Toffee Brussels Sprouts are making some real progress!). That??s why, when it came time to formulate our newest holiday snack creation, we went with a timeless, classic combination in the form of Trader Joe??s Butter Toffee Coated Virginia Peanuts.

Our supplier cooks delicious, savory Virginia peanuts (which, just to clarify, is the name of the variety of peanut, not necessarily the location they were grown in) in a mixture of butter, sugar, and salt, then lets it cool to create a superb butter toffee shell. Sweet, crunchy, and with just enough salt to complement said sweetness and crunchiness perfectly, there??s something about this specific combination of caramelized, crystalized sugar on the outside and flavorful, nutty goodness on the inside that brings up all kinds of nostalgic feelings. It??s precisely this indelibly delectable profile that makes these Butter Toffee Peanuts just the right kind of snack to have on hand for movie nights, to add to trail mixes, or to bake into cookies.
