Description

It has a nougat center that is surrounded in a layer of caramel and then covered with salted Virginia peanuts. Pearson's use of reduced lactose whey makes this confection easier to digest for lactose-sensitive individuals. The Salted Nut Roll is available in a variety of sizes and has had chocolate-covered limited editions and there have been non-seasonal spin-off products such as the Salted Pecan Roll. Seasonal editions include Spicy, Cinnamon Churro,[1] Apple Pie, and Pumpkin Spice[2]

History

The Salted Nut Roll was introduced by Pearson's during the Great Depression in 1933, a year after the PayDay bar was introduced, and entered into a market that included various types of nut roll candies. After the introduction the name was changed to the Choo Choo Bar to be distinguishable among competitors, but was eventually changed back.[3]
