salted peanuts

Ballpark legume treat

Salted peanuts are peanuts that have been roasted and coated or seasoned with salt.

They're a common snack food, sold in cans, jars, and bags.

The phrase is sometimes used as a stand-in for any simple, addictive snack: I can't stop eating these—they're like salted peanuts.
