Tangshan Peanut Crisp is a traditional snack from Tangshan City, Hebei Province, with a history spanning over a century. Peanuts are hand-roasted and ground into fine pieces and powder. Sugar is then boiled into syrup and mixed with the peanut mixture in precise proportions to create a golden peanut brittle. This brittle is subsequently pressed into thin layers, stacked, and formed into a crisp. Once cooled, it is cut into desired sizes. Tangshan Peanut Crisp offers a sweet, crisp texture with a lingering, delightful aroma that is cherished by people of all ages. For convenience, our peanut crisps are individually packaged, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene! To allow more people to savor this traditional delicacy, we have innovated its preparation method by substituting maltitol for maltose. This ensures that the peanut crisp retains its authentic flavor and texture while eliminating the sugar content and associated health concerns. This modification allows even those mindful of their sugar intake to enjoy this traditional treat in moderation. Many enjoy sweets, but those typically sweetened with sucrose are high in sugar and calories, posing health challenges. To address this, we use natural sweeteners like maltitol as the sweetening agent, offering a traditional snack that is sugar-free, allowing for healthier indulgence. Natural Sweeteners Maltitol (English: Maltitol) is a sugar alcohol with a sweetness of 75-90% that of sucrose. Its other properties are similar, but it contains only half the calories of sucrose, does not contribute to tooth decay, and has a minimal impact on blood sugar and lipids. It is often used as a sugar substitute. Maltitol is sufficiently sweet, so it does not require blending with other sweetening substances. It also possesses the property of absorbing heat when dissolved, similar to sucrose. It is used in the production of confectionery, such as sugar-free candies, chewing gum, chocolates, baked goods, and ice cream. Sugar alcohols cannot be broken down by bacteria, thus preventing cavities. Therefore, sugar alcohols offer the benefits of reduced sugar and fat while preventing tooth decay, making them an ideal sucrose alternative for children, women, the elderly, and individuals with diabetes. Sugar alcohols are very common in Europe, especially in Finland. As these are sugar-free snacks, pregnant women and those monitoring their blood sugar levels can consume them in moderation.
