Chocolate Covered Peanuts Done the Right Way. Done the Hubs Way

Chocolate and peanuts have been a pairing worth trusting for generations, and Hubs Choco Covered Peanuts get it right. It starts with the same Super Extra-Large Virginia peanut we've used since 1954, blister-fried for signature crunch, then finished with a light coat of chocolate.

Why Choose Hubs Chocolate Covered Peanuts

Anyone can dip a peanut in chocolate. Doing it in a way that respects the peanut is the harder part, and it's the part we've spent seven decades perfecting.

We use only Super XL Virginia peanuts, prized for their size, their rich flavor, and a crunch most peanuts can't match. Before any chocolate gets involved, each batch goes through the same precise blister-fry process Dot Hubbard pioneered, the step that locks in flavor and gives every Hubs peanut its signature bite. Only then does the chocolate come in, applied in a light, even coating that adds real chocolate flavor without turning the peanut into an afterthought.

A lot of chocolate-covered peanuts on store shelves lean on the chocolate to cover up an average peanut. Ours don't need the cover-up. You can taste the Virginia peanut in every bite, and that's the whole point.

Creative Ways to Enjoy

A tin of Hubs Chocolate Covered Peanuts is a finished snack on its own. It's also a great starting point.

Sundae topping: Crush a handful over vanilla ice cream for crunch that survives the melt, or layer them into a sundae between scoops for texture in every bite.
Trail mix, upgraded: Mix with pretzels, dried apricots, and a few Honey Kissed Peanuts for a sweet-salty combination that outlasts a long hike.
Charcuterie sweet spot: Add a small bowl to a cheese board next to brie and fresh berries. They disappear faster than anything else on the table.
Straight from the tin: Sometimes the best way to enjoy them needs no assembly at all.

Seasonal Availability & Shipping

Chocolate melts. We plan around that.

From November through March, our full lineup of Chocolate Covered Peanut tins and case packs ships as usual, weather permitting, in single cans up to 20-per-case, all in our classic 20 oz tin. That window covers most of the holiday season, so timing your gift order is easy.

Once the weather turns warm, we switch to a 4-pack shipped with cool gel packs, sent out Monday through Wednesday on two-day express shipping to keep transit time short and the chocolate intact. Same peanut. Same chocolate. The only thing that changes is how carefully we get it to your door.

Why Hubs, After All These Years

We didn't add chocolate to chase a trend. We added it because a Super XL Virginia peanut can carry a little sweetness without losing what made it worth eating in the first place. That's the same thinking behind every variety we make, whether it's honey, heat, or chocolate. The flavor changes. The standard doesn't.

That standard has held for more than 70 years, because it was never about following what other brands were doing. It was about starting with the best peanut available and refusing to cut corners after that.

The Nutritional Power of Virginia Peanuts

Sometimes the simplest snacks have a lot going for them. Hubs Unsalted Virginia Peanuts keep the focus right where it belongs, the peanut. For the health nut and purist at heart, here's a closer look at peanut nutrition and what makes unsalted Virginia peanuts worth keeping within reach. Health Benefits of Virginia Peanuts Peanuts pack quite a bit into a small handful. Hubs Unsalted Virginia Peanuts provide plant-based protein, fiber, and mostly unsaturated fats, without the added salt. The American Heart Association also points to nuts as a source of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. A Heart-Conscious Choice If you're watching sodium, going unsalted is an easy place to start. Peanuts contain mostly unsaturated fats. The American Heart Association recommends choosing unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats as part of a heart-healthy eating pattern. Hubs Unsalted Virginia Peanuts also contain 0 mg of cholesterol per serving. As a plant-based food, peanuts themselves do not contain dietary cholesterol. Glycemic Index Unsalted peanuts are considered a low glycemic index food, with Hubs Unsalted Virginia Peanuts reporting a GI score of approximately 14. Foods with a lower GI generally produce a slower rise in blood sugar than foods with a higher GI. Glycemic load looks at both the glycemic index and the amount of carbohydrates in a typical serving. Harvard’s guide to carbohydrates and blood sugar lists peanuts among foods with a low glycemic load. Naturally Occurring Antioxidants Peanuts also contain naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Medical News Today notes peanuts contain polyphenols, antioxidants, flavonoids, and amino acids, giving you even more goodness in every handful. 7 Grams of Plant-Based Protein One serving of Hubs Unsalted Virginia Peanuts contains 7 grams of protein. That's a lot of plant-based protein for something you can grab by the handful. Pair them with fresh fruit for an afternoon snack, sprinkle them over a salad, or simply keep a tin nearby when you want something with a little more staying power than a cracker or chip. Unsalted vs. Salted Peanuts Salt or no salt? Nutritionally, the biggest practical difference is exactly what you'd expect: added salt. A 1-ounce serving of Hubs Unsalted Virginia Peanuts contains 10 mg of sodium, while the same serving of our Salted Virginia Peanuts contains 120 mg. Both provide 160 calories, 7 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, and 0 grams of sugar per serving. Per 1 oz Serving Hubs Unsalted Hubs Salted Calories 160 160 Protein 7g 7g Total Fat 14g 14g Dietary Fiber 2g 2g Total Sugar 0g 0g Sodium 10mg 120mg Cholesterol 0mg 0mg Nutrition information comes directly from the current Hubs Unsalted Peanuts and Salted Peanuts nutrition label.

Virginia peanuts are primarily unsaturated fat and contain no cholesterol, which is why they're often included in discussions of heart-healthy snacking. As with any food, they're best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. What is the glycemic index of unsalted peanuts? Unsalted peanuts fall into the low glycemic index category, meaning they have a smaller impact on blood sugar compared to high-GI foods like white bread or sugary snacks. How do unsalted peanuts compare nutritionally to salted peanuts? The core nutrition, protein, fat, fiber, and micronutrients, is identical. The only difference is sodium content, since salted peanuts have salt added during processing and unsalted peanuts do not. Are unsalted peanuts naturally cholesterol-free? Yes. Peanuts are a plant food, and cholesterol is only present in animal products, so all varieties, salted or unsalted, are naturally cholesterol-free.

Homemade Peanut Butter

With just one ingredient and a food processor, Hubs Peanuts transform into a rich, creamy peanut spread in under 10 minutes. Serves Best For Total Time Difficulty About 1½ – 2 cups Spreads, Snacks, Pantry Staples 10 Mins Easy Ingredients: 3 cups Hubs Roasted Peanuts Salted Peanuts or Unsalted Peanuts Sea salt, to taste (if using unsalted peanuts) Directions: Add 3 cups of Hubs Peanuts to the bowl of a food processor. Process continuously, pausing every 30 seconds to 1 minute to scrape down the sides of the bowl and let the motor rest. Continue this process-and-scrape cycle through all the stages below until the mixture is fully smooth. Watch the texture change in stages as you keep processing. First chunky and coarse, then clumping into a thick ball, and finally loosening into a smooth, creamy spread. Keep processing (with pauses to scrape) until it reaches this final smooth stage — the full process takes about 8 to 10 minutes. If using unsalted peanuts, taste and stir in sea salt as needed. TIP: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stir well before each use. How To Enjoy Homemade Peanut Butter Spread it on toast, bagels, or English muffins. Swirl it into oatmeal or yogurt. Use it as a dip for apple slices, celery, or pretzels. Blend it into smoothies Mix it into sauces or dressings Layer it into a classic PB&J sandwich
