Peanut spread with chocolate – what exactly is it?

A peanut spread (also called peanut cream) is a sweet spread based on ground, roasted peanuts. Unlike a paste, it also contains sugar, fat and flavourings. In our case the flavouring is dark chocolate – hence the name on the label: spread with peanuts and chocolate. The taste is peanut-and-chocolate: clearly nutty, with a lightly salty finish and a chocolate note.

How is it different from a paste? A 100% peanut paste is nothing but ground peanuts – no sugar, chocolate or emulsifiers. If that's what you want, try Peanoot Butter Crunchy (with peanut pieces) or the smooth Peanoot Butter. The spread is sweeter and more dessert-like – perfect on sandwiches, pancakes and in baking. "Crunchy" simply means we leave pieces of roasted peanuts in the spread.

How to choose a good peanut spread with chocolate? What to look for in the ingredients

• Order of ingredients. Ingredients are listed from the largest amount. In a good nut spread, nuts or peanuts come first – ours contains 59% roasted peanuts.
• Chocolate or "chocolate flavour". Check whether the list includes chocolate (with its own ingredients in brackets) or only cocoa or flavouring. We add 8% dark chocolate.
• Type of fat. Many spreads are based on palm oil. Ours uses shea fat and cocoa fat from the chocolate.
• Sugar. Let's be honest: sugar is the second ingredient in our spread, and 100 g contains 20 g of sugars. If you want less, choose the no-added-sugar version (4.1 g of sugars per 100 g) or the 100% Peanoot Butter Crunchy paste (6.4 g of sugars per 100 g – naturally occurring in peanuts).
• Salt. A pinch of Himalayan salt (0.48 g per 100 g) brings out the peanut and chocolate flavour – that's the lightly salty finish.
• Texture. Smooth or crunchy is a matter of taste. Natural spreads without hydrogenated fats may separate slightly – just stir.
