A Sweet Slice of History 📜

Circus Peanuts date all the way back to the 19th century, when they were sold as unwrapped “penny candy” in general stores and variety shops.

• In 1941, Spangler Candy developed one of the most well‑known recipes.
• During WWII, Circus Peanut Slurry was even sold in jars as a sugar substitute due to rationing.
• Originally a springtime candy, they became available year‑round after the introduction of polyethylene packaging in the late 1940s.

Few candies carry this much American confectionery heritage.
