Deutsche Kuche Peanut Puffs: One thing I've tried to do during the course of this blog is listen to suggestions from friends and readers, and I'm always happy when someone else leads me to an interesting new food. As great as suggestions are, it's even better when someone actually supplies me with food, and that's exactly what happened this past weekend. One of my readers recently contacted me and said that she had a couple of items set aside for me to try. I couldn't say no to that, so I made arrangements to pick them up and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
In addition to some vegan jerky (which I've unfortunately already tried and written about), there was also a bag of something called "peanut puffs." They were described as a "crunchy corn snack with freshly ground peanuts," and the picture on the bag made each piece kind of resemble an actual peanut. Based on that information, I expected these to be filled with some sort of peanut substance, but I was wrong.
After opening the bag today, I noticed that these looked a lot like Cheetos, but more brown instead of orange. I have to admit that they were really good - imagine a peanut flavored Cheeto, and you have a pretty good idea of what these are about. They weren't sweet at all, but they were still super addictive. I managed to knock out several handfuls before putting them away. Oh, and they also tasted pretty awesome dipped in Nutella.
Thanks so much to Terry for introducing these to me, and if I ever see them again (apparently Aldi distributes them), I'm definitely buying more.
Damn! Well, so much for my Bamba suggestion for you..those are th esame thing! Peanut butter flavored Cheetos!
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious, and healthy! I'm searching everywhere on line for them. My Aldi stores don't have them anymore. :-(
ReplyDeleteI bought them yesterday at Aldi and they are so yummy!! (just finished the bag right now!!) Aldi just opened up last week!! I have got to go back to get more!!
ReplyDeleteYes,. they are corn puffs but the reason they have a peanut flavor is they are full of real peanut pieces in the puffs. They are very small (the peanut pieces) but that is what gives the puffs a brown tint. You are actually eating tiny pieces of yummy peanut in the corn puff. Very good!
ReplyDeleteMy Aldi doesn't have them either ! I bought every last bag and now they're almost gone !!! I only have 2 bags left does anyone know where I can score some more ? !!!
ReplyDeleteI am down to my last 2 bags after buying about 20 in October...anyone knows when Aldi having their German week again??? I know that there is an Israeli snack called bamaba that is the same, and when I was in Thailand there was a similar snack there...anyone???
ReplyDeleteThese are the best snack food I've had in a long time. I bought the last bags that my Aldi had and they had been marked down to $.59. I talked to the manager and of course he had no idea whether they would ever have them again. Disappointed
ReplyDeleteThey had them at Aldi as of last week. They recently reappeared. Maybe Oktoberfest?
ReplyDeleteThese are the MOST DELECTABLE snack EVER! I can't find them anywhere else.... ALDI's - calling Corporate in the morning to see if there are any in St. Louis to be found. If you ever see them DO NOT HESITATE to buy a crate full. You won't be sorry!
ReplyDeleteGreat NEWS !!! I contacted Aldi's Corporate at 1-800-492-7111 and they found a store in my area (13 miles away) that had 16 bags of these wonderful PEANUT PUFFS!!! I SCORED !!!! and you can too! Call them! This may just hold me until they get them again in 3-4 months !!!!
