Circus peanuts are an abomination unto God and must be wiped off the face of the earth. And with chocolate fondue??! vomity smiley I’m a Tolkien freak, too, we’re not all crazy!
Never tried marmite, though. Do I dare?
::sniff:: I thought I loved you.
Here at the local Wal-mart, you can buy circus peanuts by the bag (as opposed to the crate or handful or individual peanut, I guess). Really, I don’t know what y’all have against 'em. They’re perfectly lovely.
Guin, I sincerely doubt this will help you all that much, but I’d bet banana-flavored cotton candy would be a relatively close approximation to the sugary goodness of a circus peanut.
:eek:
I thought Circus Peanuts were a form of the God’s Wrath against the unclean.
All the hostility toward the Circus Peanut and those who love it in this thread is making me sad. People this isn’t the way of the Circus Peanut. The way of the Circus Peanut is about loving your fellow man and strange confections, and it’s about tolerance.
Don’t judge your fellow man based on the color or texture of their favorite candies but what’s in their hearts. And hearts and stomachs that can love the Circus Peanut can love anything.*
Don’t be Hatin’.
*Except Creme Eggs, they’re just nasty. 
Circus Peanuts are illegal in Georgia.
Abomination indeed.
I freed myself from having to contribute a dish for Thanksgiving ever again by concocting a dessert of orange jello and circus peanuts. It was very entertaining to watch my unsuspecting family fill their mouths with the sheer foulness and then try to figure out what suppressed memory was being sparked by that evil taste. Bwahahahaha!
<shrug> It’s kinda salty, but not all bad. Hard to find in the US, tho’.
Eureka! Circus peanuts dipped in Marmite!
“A new pleasure! A new pleasure!!”
Anybody know if you can still get the other colors of circus peanut? yellow, pink, blue, and all that? It’s been decades since I’ve seen them, and now I’m a’hankerin’!
I love CPs (As mentioned above, aged to perfection)
I hate peeps.

suppressed laughter
breaks out into loud, hearty laughs
Now I have to explain to my coworkers what all the fuss is about.
Circus Peanuts are yummy! I had no idea that there were Peanut haters here. I may have to reconsider my continued subscription to this board. ~sniffs~
To add to the sample of peanuts/peeps eaters: I will occasionally pick up a bag of circus peanuts when I pass by them in the store. They aren’t something I could eat all the time, but when I’m in that mood nothing else will do. Peeps? I’ll generally eat one or two when I make the kids’ Easter baskets, but they aren’t something I would buy for myself. Biting the heads off the little peeps is oddly soothing…
Now, I take serious issue with you Cadbury Creme dissenters. I don’t know WHAT is wrong with you, but you obviously have the taste of Cadbury Creme Eggs mixed up with some other …vile…food…something like…broccoli.
I am warming up to this concept only I want it to be the 12 Horsemen of the CirPeanut 'Pocolypse raining Peanuts and Peeps down on everyone.
Circus peanuts are nice, but they pale in comparsion to Ahlgrens Bilar, a Swedish candy that tastes like circus peanuts on steroids. I can’t get enough of them. Ahlgrens apparently produces two varieties; the bilar in the English-language package tastes decidedly inferior to the bilar in the Swedish/Danish/Norwegian/Finnish/Icelandic/German/Spanish/French-language package.
However, I beg of you, if you value your life, stay away from Sweden’s hot salt licorice. Black licorice is bad enough, and coating them in salt is a crime against nature, but adding extra-hot pepper is a sin against all that is good and holy and calls for economic sanctions.
In Ontario, yes, although they don’t go by the name Circus Peanut.
It isn’t the $0.99 that is a problem. The ensuing EPA fine for improperly disposing of toxic waste is the problem.
Excellent answer!

My gosh, that’s nasty. You must have been badly abused as a child. If not, you should be as an adult.
Sweet Lord have mercy, I am almost gagging at the thought. Rather like my mother-in-law’s special “salad” - canned fruit cocktail, lemon pie filling, and Romaine lettuce - with a vinegraitte dressing. We refer to it as “fruit vomit”.
Circus peanuts - shudders:

:eek: Tell me you are making that up!

Now I feel like vomiting. shakes fist at Dung Beetle This is all **your ** fault!
What can I expect with a username like Dung Beetle, i guess?
