Circus Peanut memories... I
remember when I was five years old and every Sunday my dad took me and
my brother to church. After church my dad would take us next door to
the church to the corner store which was built in 1898. Oh boy!!!!They
had all sorts of candy, everything you named it was like paradise. But
one candy, just took my eyes and there it was "Circus Peanuts", oh how
I could just remember I thought I was the most special kid in the
world.
The orange candy
soft, full of flavor and yummy! The circus clown on the front of the
bag , just put a smile to my face and a memory to remember. Today I
still enjoy these circus peanuts. Believe me, if you try them , they
would get you begging for me with your mouth drooling just thinking
about them. ~ Linda from New York
When we visited Grandma and Grandpa, Grandma would have the circus
peanuts locked up in her old cabinet. It was a treat to see her get
the key and bring out the bag of candy. She would only give my brother
and me a couple and back went the bag until the next time. We couldn't
wait for the next visit because we knew she always had circus peanuts
to give us. ~ Dolly from New York
I spent a lot of time at my grandparent's house as a kid. I went to pre-school just
up the street and my grandfather would meet me when it let out and walk me back to their house. They always kept some candy, usually Orange
Slices or Circus Peanuts. As soon as I'd get in the door, I'd hurry to get a couple pieces of candy. Since they didn't eat a lot of the
candy, it tended to be hard and chewy from being old. But I remember always thinking that if we were going to their house I could get
another Circus Peanut or Orange slice, no matter how stale.
To this day, when I buy a bag of Circus Peanuts, I'll leave them sit out open for a couple of days so that they will get stale and remind of
those days at my grandparents house. ~ Jim from Indiana
