Koh-Kae Peanuts Coconut Cream

Our international snack blog is on a mission to find the best snacks from around the world.  The snacks that we discover and fall in love with will eventually be offered in our international snack store.  So far our international snack store consist of only two countries, but each month this year we will add a new country and their best snacks to our inventory.  In just a few weeks, German Snacks will made available for purchase online with shipping around the world.  What’s after that?  Well, that what we are still trying to decide.   One of the front-runners for our expansion is Thailand  So today, we are reviewing a Thai snack!

Over the past 14 months or so we have reviewed several snacks from the Thailand.  Most have been enjoyable with the exception of one, Sweet and Spicy Squid.  Trust us, you won't find this item in our Thai Snack Store! Today we are taking a look at Koh Kae Peanuts Coconut Cream Flavour.  Typically we start with little details about the manufacture of the snack, but something we are finding common with Thai snacks is there really is much information on them readily available.  The only thing we could find is that these are the best selling peanut snack in Thailand. So let’s move forward and examine the packaging.

The Koh-Kae Peanuts Coconut Cream Flavor Coated Snack comes in a circular tin with a vacuum-sealed tin top.  There is a guy that appears to be dressed in a karate uniform holding a sign that reads the brand, Koh-Kae.  Next to it some simple text that reads “Peanuts Coconut Cream Flavour Coated”.  Below the text, some peanuts in a crunchy shell.  On the back of the canister it lists the worldwide distributors, and there are quite a few in a variety of destinations.  This is highly unusual for a snack from the Thailand or anywhere, but it does let us know this snack must be loved around the world in some fashion! Enough with how they look, let’s get on with the taste test of these Koh-Kae Peanuts.

Our initial group for our sampling of the Koh-Kae Peanuts Coconut Cream was small.  It was my partner and my son.  We all enjoyed the snack, but the flavor was so subtle I wanted to expand our taste test panel.  The second round of testing included 6 more testers.  All but one enjoyed this peanut treat.  It’s a pretty simple snack, a peanut with a crunchy coating that is only slightly flavored with coconut cream.  It’s so subtle, that the coconut cream doesn’t actually hit you until the aftertaste.  Several of the snackers mentioned the Koh-Kae peanuts taste similar to the American Ritz Crackers Peanut Butter Sandwiches, and although I didn’t realize it at first, I do agree.  As I write this article I am also still eating this Thai Snack, and it’s just hit me as well. They are very addicting!

Will World of Snacks offer Koh-Kae Peanuts Coconut Cream in our selection of Snacks from Thailand?  For sure!  I am already craving more for myself and being they have a pretty decent international following this would be a great fit in our international snack store.  Well there you have it.  If you’d like to stay up-to-date as we add additional countries and their best snacks to our store be sure to leave your details to the right.  Keep on snacking world!
