References: planters & bakingbusiness
Mixed nut flavors often tend toward sweetness, but Planters' new 'Dessert-Inspired Mixes' are turning sweetened mixed nuts into a series of entirely unique flavor profiles. As the name suggests, the Dessert-Inspired Mixes are all based on popular and decadent treats, while still including combinations of Planters nuts.
There are four flavors in Planters series. The Banana Sundae mix includes honey roasted, chocolate candy-, vanilla yogurt-, and strawberry yogurt-covered peanuts with banana chips. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie mix comes with peanut butter candy-covered peanuts, cocoa peanuts and peanut butter candies. For a less decadent option, the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie mix includes cinnamon toasted almonds, pecans, and raisins. Those looking to go all out for a dessert flavor can go with the Turtle Sundae, which has chocolate and caramel bits in it.
