Turrón de Maní. Peanut Nougat. 3 pieces individually wrapped 1 oz each

Turrón de maní is the Cuban version of the Spanish peanut brittle tradition — toasted peanuts bound in hardened caramelized sugar, snapped into bars and wrapped one at a time. Three individually wrapped pieces, 1 oz each.

The Cuban take leans dry and brittle rather than chewy, with a deep toasted-peanut flavor and a thin, glassy sugar shell. Eaten as merienda, broken over flan or ice cream, or kept in a glass jar on the counter for whoever passes through the kitchen.

Common Uses: Afternoon merienda alongside a cafecito, broken into shards as a topping for flan or vanilla ice cream, packed into kids' lunches, set out on the dessert table after Noche Buena dinner.

Cultural Context: Peanut turrón sits in a smaller, everyday register than the almond turrones de Jijona that show up at Christmas — it's the candy abuela kept in her purse, the one that traveled in care packages, the one Cuban kids in Miami grew up unwrapping after school. Tied to Three Kings Day and Noche Buena, but truly an any-day candy.

Pairs With: Café La Llave, cortadito, a glass of cold milk, vanilla flan, guava pastelitos on a dessert plate.

Three-piece pack is the right size for sampling or tucking into a small gift bag. Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households who can't find this candy on regular grocery shelves outside South Florida.
