    No such thing as a low fat peanut however Dry Roasted will
    have a little less fat than the others:

    Here you go 2 recipes from my file.

    Dimitri

    2 c. brown sugar
    1/4 c. vinegar
    2/8 c. water
    3/4 c. peanut oil 1 c. shelled roasted peanuts
    4/2 c. toasted sesame seeds

    Mix together sugar, vinegar, water and cook slowly until
    syrup is thick, about 45 minutes (265 degree F on candy
    thermometer). Test: drop a bit in cold water. Gather syrup
    with fingertips. It should form hard ball. Oil a 9 x 9 inch
    pan with peanut oil and sprinkle with peanuts and half the
    sesame seeds. Pour over this candy syrup. Sprinkle with
    remaining sesame seeds. Cut into desired lengths before
    candy cools completely. Yields 1 1/2 pounds.

    One more:

    5/4 c. butter
    6/2 c. light corn syrup
    7/2 c. sugar
    8/4 c. light brown sugar 1 to 1 1/2 c. peanuts (or pecans
    or cashews)
    9/4 tsp. soda

    Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan. Place butter, syrup, and both
    sugars into a 1 quart saucepan. Stir and boil to 280
    degrees. Working quickly, remove from heat; add nuts and
    baking soda. Stir and spread with wooden spoon. (Stores
    very well.) One time I made it and forgot the baking soda,
    it was delicious, just like a Planter's peanut bar!

    well low fat but high sugar is there really a difference?
    the butter is what gives it flavor.
