I do. It's been a long time since I've had them or even remember how old I was when I last had any.

I do and loved them. Don’t see them anymor.

I remember them, but I didn't like them as much as almost anything else. There also used to be some weird Cherry Mash ball thing which was another sweet I'd eat but would prefer almost anything else than.

No idea what you're talking about, @Jazzy1. This is what my computer shows for your original post. Can you tell us what it was?

Are they these? If so, they have them at walmart and at nuts.com

 

[MarciKS]

I've never had any of those ever. So I don't even know what they are or what they taste like.

I thought they were great. Haven't had them in decades. I wouldn't have remembered what they were called , except it was mentioned earlier in this thread.

I had no idea that's what they were called. I just knew I like them.

I've never had those pictured originally in the OP, and again in post #10
I do remember these patties, which may still be made, I'm not sure.

They remind me of pralines. It's gotta be the shape.

That looks like the bud of a catsup plant!

They are peanuts covered with a candy shell -- someone poured the candy mixture over the nuts and the candy hardened. Then they sold them to unsuspecting people who became addicted to them. Then m&m's came along and due to the chocolate, had sales in the zillions. And French Burnt Peanuts became an also-ran.

 

[hollydolly]

No unfortunately , I've never even seen those....

Does anyone remember the Planters Peanut shops? There was a small store in Charleston with an animated Mr. Peanut standing in the window, tapping on the glass with his cane. I had a few bad dreams about him.

 

[Tish]

No, I don't recollect them at all.

 

[Coco]

I didn't like the burnt candy peanuts but I love Beer Nuts which are sweet as well?!

 

[Aunt Bea]

I remember having them but it seems like they were called something else.

Nuts seem to be a generational thing, maybe due to cost or allergy concerns.

I recall eating and liking them. Although I wouldn’t buy them now, I’d nibble a few from a bowl if it were placed in front of me.
