circus peanuts
Banana-flavored orange candy
Circus peanuts are soft, orange, banana-flavored marshmallow candies shaped like peanuts.
Despite their name, they taste nothing like peanuts and bear only a vague resemblance to them.
They have a polarizing reputation—beloved by some, dismissed as stale-tasting by others: Who actually eats circus peanuts?
