Peanut caramel is a soft, chewy piece you bite into, while \u003ca href=\"\/products\/korean-black-sugar-candy-heuksatang\"\u003eKorean Black Sugar Candy\u003c\/a\u003e is a hard drop that dissolves slowly.

It is made in Korea by Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과) of Busan, a candy maker since 1969, in a HACCP-certified facility. The label lists the peanut butter as sourced from China. We ship it from our New Jersey warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Korean peanut caramel taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is nutty and sweet, like peanut butter folded into a soft caramel, with a little milk and vanilla in the background. The texture is chewy rather than hard, and each small piece comes in a twist wrapper. Ilkwang describes it as the taste of childhood candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much peanut butter is in it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeanut butter makes up 30% of the recipe and is the second ingredient after starch syrup. The front of the pack notes that this is twice the peanut butter of the earlier version. The peanut butter itself is listed as 98% peanuts and 2% emulsifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePeanut caramel vs hard candy: what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference is texture. Korean Peanut Caramel is a soft, chewy piece that you bite into, while a hard candy such as Korean Black Sugar Candy is a hard drop that dissolves slowly. Choose the caramel for a chewy, nutty bite and a hard candy for a longer-lasting piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat allergens does it contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt contains peanuts, milk, and soy. It is made in a facility that also processes wheat, peach, shellfish (abalone), and fish. It is not suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy. The caramel is chewy, so chew it well and do not swallow pieces whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many pieces are in a bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 8.81 oz (250 g) bag holds about 21 servings of 2 pieces, so roughly 42 small caramels of about 6 g each. Two pieces are 50 calories with 3 g of total sugars, according to the Nutrition Facts label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipped Fresh from New Jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders ship from our New Jersey warehouse within 1 business day, with free shipping on orders of $60 or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candy\"\u003eExplore Korean Candy at Kosbee\u003c\/a\u003e.
