Abstract

Indonesia has great potential in developing nutritious local foods, one of which is peanuts which are rich in protein and healthy fats. This study aims to develop "P-Bar" as a peanut-based snack bar that has the potential to be a nutritious food as well as an entrepreneurial opportunity based on local ingredients. The study used participatory study methods and literature studies through product manufacturing, promotion, and sales activities. P-Bar is made using the main ingredient of peanuts combined with powdered milk, margarine, sugar, eggs, and wheat flour. The protein and healthy fat content in peanuts make P-Bar a potential nutritious snack and a practical source of energy for the body. Sales results showed that 45 pieces of the product were successfully sold with a total revenue of Rp270,000 and a profit of Rp170,000 from a production capital of Rp100,000. These results indicate that P-Bar has the potential to be developed as a local food product with economic value and support the development of local food-based entrepreneurship.
