Pearson’s Salted Nut Rolls

The Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll entered the candy market at the height of the Great Depression. Originally called the Choo Choo Bar, the salty and sweet combo brought a little bit of happiness to the country when it needed it most.

Fortunately for us, we can still buy Pearson’s Salted Nut Rolls, and this is a Fun Size version that comes with approximately 30 pieces per pound. Each unit weighs0.50 oz. and measures 3.5″.

Never tried one? Here’s the deal: salted Virginia peanuts cover a layer of golden caramel, all wrapped around a creamy nougat center. Sounds like heaven. That’s the Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll. Enjoy.
