Objectives: This study looked at the sensory acceptance of butterscotch enriched with sweetened pineapple and finely chopped peanuts as to the appearance, scent, taste, texture, and overall acceptability, as well as its nutritional value, proximate composition, packaging, and labeling. Methods: In the trials, five treatments were used: four of which included sweetened pineapple and peanuts in varying quantities, and one treatment served as the control variable, hence, it did not have sweetened pineapple or peanuts. The study’s respondents were ten West Visayas State University (WVSU)-Calinog Campus teachers and staff, ten WVSU-Calinog Campus Food Technology and Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM) students, and ten food enthusiasts who were chosen through purposive sampling. A 9-point Hedonic Scale was used for the sensory evaluation of the finished products. Findings: Treatment C proximate composition evaluation showed these results - moisture content (17.31%), ash content (1.04%), crude protein (6.60%), total fat (24.34%) and carbohydrate (50.71%). Energy taken from Treatment C is 448 kcal/100 g. Sensory evaluation of Treatment C is liked extremely. With packaging and labeling designed, butterscotch cookies with 74 grams of finely chopped peanuts and 111 grams of sweetened pineapple enrichment could be a potential product that can be marketed as a delectable snack or dessert with a higher nutritional value. Novelty: The novelty of this research covers the development of a new product out of peanut and pineapple that will compete with the existing cookies products in the market.
