This is the Zhou Guifang Peanut Candy, featuring peanuts bound together in a hald maltose candy.
Each piece was a rectangular slice measuring approximately 3.5 × 2.7 × 0.5 cm, with a tan and off-white appearance and a distinctly nutty aroma.
On tasting, the rough surface gave way to a firm, brittle texture that fractured with a satisfying crunch. The initial bite released a clean snap, while the maltose maintained a crisp resistance through the chew, allowing the peanuts to continue providing a pronounced crunch. The sweetness was restrained, allowing the savoury nuttiness of the peanuts to dominate the flavour profile. This moderation in sweetness contributed to its ease of eating, though the overall flavour was more straightforward compared to other versions. The black sesame variant offered greater textural contrast and a deeper, more layered nuttiness.
Overall, a clean, well-balanced peanut confection with excellent crunch, though the flavour may feel somewhat one-dimensional beside the sesame version.
