One small piece of peanut chikki is about 79 kcal, and almost half the calories come from jaggery, which is basically sugar. Peanuts are the good part, but the jaggery syrup is what makes a full 100g slab climb past 500 kcal.

Chikki is a healthy snack because peanuts are healthy.
mostly false
Mostly false. The peanuts inside are genuinely good, full of protein and good fat. But a chikki piece is roughly half peanuts and half jaggery syrup by weight. Jaggery is basically sugar with a tiny bit of iron, not a health food. So calling chikki a healthy snack hides a big sugar load inside something good for you.
