Everything you need to know about this recipe
Peanut butter candy, especially in the form of sweet, chewy treats, has been a nostalgic snack in the United States since the mid‑20th century, often associated with school lunches and candy aisles. It reflects the American love for peanut flavor combined with convenience and indulgence.
Traditional peanut candy usually contains sugar, corn syrup, and artificial flavors, while Patricia Delicious Nutrition’s version replaces sugar with neutral gelatin and adds whey protein, making it low‑carb, high‑protein, and richer in nutrients for a healthier lifestyle.
These protein‑rich gummies are popular as post‑workout snacks, on‑the‑go breakfast bites, or as a guilt‑free treat during holidays like Halloween or fitness‑focused events where low‑carb, high‑protein options are celebrated.
They pair nicely with almond flour crackers, Greek yogurt parfaits, or a small serving of fresh berries, creating a balanced snack that keeps carbs low while adding protein and healthy fats.
They combine the classic sweet‑salty peanut flavor with a gelatin‑based gummy texture, delivering a chewable dessert that is both high in protein and virtually sugar‑free, fitting perfectly into keto and low‑carb diets.
Common errors include not fully dissolving the gelatin, which leads to grainy gummies, and over‑mixing the protein powder, which can cause a chalky texture. Also, insufficient chilling time results in soft, un‑set candies.
Neutral gelatin provides a clean, flavorless base that lets the natural peanut and vanilla notes shine, while also adding collagen benefits. Flavored mixes contain added sugars and artificial flavors that would defeat the low‑carb, high‑protein goal.
Yes, you can prepare a full batch in advance. Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to a month. Keep them chilled to maintain their firm, chewy texture.
The YouTube channel Patricia Delicious Nutrition focuses on nutritious, high‑protein recipes that fit low‑carb, keto, and whole‑food lifestyles, offering practical tips for maintaining a healthy diet without sacrificing flavor.
Patricia Delicious Nutrition emphasizes quick, ingredient‑light recipes that use everyday pantry items like gelatin and nut butters, while many other channels rely on more processed or specialty ingredients. Her style blends scientific nutrition insights with approachable home‑cooking techniques.
