Circus Peanut recipe below...

Marshmallow Circus Peanuts were invented in the 1800's. These peanuts have been produced by many confectionery manufacturers over the years. They were originally introduced as Spring candy items in the then dominant 5 cent and 10 cent variety stores. Many other unwrapped penny candies were also available. The product at that time was considered a Spring seasonal item. However, with the development of polyethylene film in the late 1940's, it became possible to offer Circus Peanuts on a year-round basis.
