Peanut Cheetos!
P-nuff was another item I saw on Shark Tank and decided to try. I found them at Amazon for $8.25, and while I’d normally not pay that much for a snack, I do want to try as many Shark Tank featured food items as possible.
This was another failure.
The peanut puffs are basically peanut flavored Cheetos. Instead of corn meal, these are made with ground navy beans and rice, but it’s the same concept. The ground cereals are mixed with oil and puffed.
They are supposed to be peanut puffs, but the peanut flavor is very subtle. This is not surprising as roasted peanuts are the next to last ingredient – salt is the last one. The peanuts do give the puffs a slight peanut aroma, but it dissipates quickly. It’s not bad, but it’s also not particularly delicious.
This was sold as a healthy snack, but I’m not sure I’d call it that. It has about half the fat and twice the protein that Cheetos, but it’s only a little bit less caloric. It has the same amount of carbs as Cheetos, but more fiber and, surprisingly, twice as much sugar.
I’m sure this is a great snack for vegans, but not something I’d buy again, even at half the price.
