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