Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars, 2 oz., 24 pk.

What's in Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars?

Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars contain crunchy peanut butter wafers that are covered in fudge chocolate. The peanuts used in these nutter butter wafers are called Runner peanuts. Runner peanuts are one of four peanut varieties grown in the United States. The other three varieties are Spanish, Valencia and Virginia. Runner peanuts are usually grown in regions of Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Little Debbie purchases the peanuts for their peanut butter wafers from Georgia.

Are Peanuts Not Nuts?

Surprisingly, the peanuts used to make your peanut butter wafer bars are not actually nuts. In fact, peanuts aren't nuts at all. Peanuts are actually a part of the legume family: the same as chickpeas, lentils and some beans.
