KP Peanuts is one of the United Kingdom's most iconic snack brands, with a history dating back to 1853 under the Kenyon & Son company. Originally a producer of confectionery and jam, the brand evolved into KP Snacks and specialized in nuts, launching its namesake peanut line in 1953 which became a staple of British pubs and homes.
Traditionally manufactured at the Hellaby plant in Rotherham, United Kingdom, the brand has undergone several ownership changes in the modern era. After being part of United Biscuits, KP Snacks was acquired in 2013 by the Intersnack Group, a major European snack food manufacturer headquartered in Germany. As of 2026, the brand remains a core part of Intersnack's UK portfolio, maintaining its heritage while benefiting from the global reach of its German parent company.
