Circus Peanuts History

Marshmallow Circus Peanuts were invented in the 1800's. Circus 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 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.
