I have a problem

[u/kaleisgreenish]

I posted about trying 3 candies that everyone hates. I received a few hundred messages on the post about how I was wrong. I threw out the disgusting neccos, but I continued eating the peanuts. Dont know if it's because I don't have any other candy now, or I was too intrigued by the texture. But now I have one left. And I NEED to try the other flavors. I NEED more circus peanuts HELP

Because they're fucking delicious

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/chipinserted]

I'm not even sure they are. It's like eating packing peanuts or foam banana taffy

[u/Katy-Moon → u/kaleisgreenish]

Exactly - which is what makes them so good!

[u/undead_dilemma → u/kaleisgreenish]

It’s marshmallow with lots of gelatin. You can actually make them at home relatively easily, and you can add other flavors than the default banana. Straight vanilla are by far my favorite.

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/undead_dilemma]

The texture is very different from the average marshmallow. Are you saying it's just extra gelatin? (Never made marshmallows before)

[u/chipinserted]

I love them too much

[u/The_Holy_Drinker]

I love necco wafers

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/The_Holy_Drinker]

Couldn't stand them. Lemon and lime were okay, but nothing else

Your post made me realize that my love of Circus Peanuts came from SCARCITY. My dad was in a Circus Peanuts kick and it was the only sweet I had access to for a short while as a kid. I completely forgot that I didn't like them at first, but kept accepting them until they grew on me. lol

you do because these taste like how styrofoam feels😭

[u/Gh07ms3 → u/kyra0728]

Exactly, mixed with a cotton ball, no thanks

[u/ivorella]

Get a 1 pound bag, that's what I did :P

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/ivorella]

Omg. I was looking on Amazon but they're so expensive

[u/Dizzy-Swimming8201]

What do they taste like 👀

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/Dizzy-Swimming8201]

Very strong banana flavor, like banana taffy

[u/OpusAtrumET]

I love them but haven't tried the other flavors. Old school banana works for me, but I'm super curious because I love the texture.

[u/WigglyLimpo]

Dollar Tree has lemon and strawberry flavor circus peanuts, at least the ones near me do. But you NEED to understand that like, three of these have 50% of your daily sugar intake. You can't be eating bags of these unless you legitimately want diabetes. Eat no more than three per day and keep it as a once in a while thing.

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/WigglyLimpo]

I think I had maybe 5 today woops

[u/WigglyLimpo → u/kaleisgreenish]

Circus peanuts are ESPECIALLY bad to binge, so please be careful

[u/ImpossibleDream8894]

Circus peanuts are so interesting for me. I also thought I hated them and told myself “let me try one more” only for the bag to end up gone a short time later. lol

[u/YaldaBraxlSabaoth]

Circus Peanuts are the undeserved black sheep of candy.

Necco are seriously some gross and chalky Civil War-era sweets, most of the other hated candies don't deserve the shade.

[u/gothboipics]

genuinely my favorite candy, everyone calls me a grandpa for loving them.

[u/Massive-Passenger855]

I’d fucked with Necco

[u/Sprinkle_In_Hole]

I need to grab a bag

[u/theluceisloose]

They're my favorites!! Everyone laughs at me but I love them.

I haven’t had one of these since I was a kid and it scarred me. May give it a second go I am a glutton for punishment

[u/breadit8]

Circus Peanuts forever.

[u/JuanG_13]

I love circus peanuts and I'd give you a bag if I could lol

[u/kaleisgreenish → u/JuanG_13]

Awwwwww

[u/JuanG_13 → u/kaleisgreenish]

Yeah lol

[u/EuphoricRaspberry140]

No. No you don’t my friend. I am also a circus peanut lover
