According to Spangler Candy, the country’s largest producer of Circus Peanuts: Marshmallow Circus Peanuts were invented in the 1800s and have been produced by many confectionery manufacturers over the years. The first Spangler Candy Circus Peanut recipe was developed on March 12, 1941. During the war, Circus Peanut Slurry was sold in jars as a sugar replacement since sugar was rationed.
