Circus Peanuts are a type of candy that have been popular in the United States since the 1800s. They are soft, marshmallow-like confections shaped like peanuts and are typically orange in color. Despite their name, they do not contain any actual peanuts and are primarily made from sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. These candies are often found at fairs, carnivals, and in candy stores. Circus Peanuts have a unique texture that is chewy and spongy, and they are known for their sweet, banana-like flavor. They are sometimes used in baking or as a decorative element for desserts.
