Conner’s Locally Grown Chocolate Covered Peanuts
If there is any one must-have local food item at Conner’s, it has to be these highly addictive peanuts that are chocolate covered, blister fried or honey roasted.
These are grown and packaged in Eastern NC by Farmer Dave.
It’s entirely possible that you’ll eat them all before you get home. You might want to get a backup jar, just in case.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
