Looks like it's what's called Erdnussflips in Germany

Amusingly, I tried to convince my ex (Serbian) that Smoki and Erdnussflips are the same thing. I filled a Smoki bag with German (ja! brand) Erdnussflips, and she immediately noticed, though there were a few seconds of confused looks (and laughter).
Well ja! are definitely not the best Erdnussflips you can get, i would've noticed too that they don't taste that good.
Aldi sometimes sells these here in the us. They're similar to Bamba, but not as fluffy. It's a coarser-ground corn, I think. e.g. https://aldithings.com/deutsche-kuche-peanut-puffs/
I just tried some last night, in a side-by-side comparison with real Erdnussflips. Bamba have a smoother/softer texture (less crunchy), and the peanut flavor is weaker.
