Kelly's Erdnüsse (Roasted and Salted Peanuts)

Kelly's Erdnüsse are a popular snack item in Austria, consisting of dry-roasted and salted peanuts. The brand Kelly's is synonymous with the Austrian snack market, tracing its roots back to 1955 when it was founded in Vienna by Howard Morse Kelly and Herbert Rast. The company began by producing popcorn, later expanding into a wide variety of snacks including potato chips and peanuts.

Today, Kelly's is the market leader for savory snacks in Austria. While the brand carries an American-sounding name due to its founder, it is deeply rooted in Austrian food culture. The primary production facility is located in Vienna's 22nd district (Donaustadt), where a significant portion of its product range is manufactured. Since 2007, the company has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Intersnack Group, a major European snack food conglomerate headquartered in Germany. This partnership has allowed Kelly's to maintain its strong local identity while benefiting from a massive international distribution network.
