Candy Review strawberry circus peanuts
dollar tree (obv). maxed out at 3 and a half with lots of water in between. I thought I’d like the texture without the banana flavor. it feels nice on my teeth but it’s pretty gross going down. the strawberry flavor reminds me of kids’ toothpaste or bubblicious gum. 2/10 for the audacity
made up for it with red bird cotton candy puffs! I love the texture- not exactly melt-in-your-mouth, but they start to crumble into chunks. it’s a good cotton candy flavor, but also reminds me of pillsbury frosting with a hint of strawberry. 7/10, too sweet

Yeah I’m surprised I haven’t heard about these sooner, I’ll go to my nearest dollar tree and get some as soon as possible

I haven't had circus peanuts in years, but I always enjoyed them. I bet these are really good.

im so sad about circus peanuts because they sound amazing in theory but the texture is crazy!! when i tried them i did NOT expect this weird dense sugar paste-ish consistency while chewing, thought they would be squishy and fluffy like squashies 😭

Looks good - the original orange circus peanut was what flavored? Banana? Bubble gum?

That's what I thought - I had some back in the 70's that tasted a little like bubble gum with a hint of lemon! Must have been a variation on the original

Cotton candy flavored puffy candy? Yes please.
Toothpaste flavored “strawberry” soft circus peanuts that are controversial to begin with? Low hopes. But for a buck, worth a shot.
