Peanuts & Jelly Beans

Part I

I had a craving, but I couldn't identify it.  I made a stop in the candy aisle {I'm a fat girl, what did you expect? Image} and saw some Starburst jelly beans & then it hit me....peanuts & jelly beans!  That's what I wanted!  I just hate there are no white jelly beans {my fav} in the bag.

Part II

When we last talked it seemed only us native St. Louisans were familiar with this snack.  This was a staple for us who grew up in STL.  The best ones could be found at the Famous-Barr (now Macy's) candy counter.  If you ever crave a sweet & salty mixture, this will hook you up!

As you can tell, the bowl was close to being empty before I remembered to get a snapshot.

The next time anyone comes thru The Lou, Peanuts & Jelly Beans on me!

    Dang, and to think for years I've been eating peanut butter and (bread and butter) pickle sandwiches to satisfy my craving for something sweet and salty. I also like salted peanuts with those after dinner mints that melt in your mouth. My mom used to put out a bowl of each when we'd have parties. I love jelly beans, especially Jelly Belly brand, and will have to try that combination some time.

    I am not from the Lou but Iknow about peanuts and jelly beans... or sometimes chocolate stars and salted peanuts. Nothing like peanut m&m's for those of you that thought that....Salted Spanish peanuts mix with almost everything sweet.

    That is a strange combo. Next time you're in that store pick me up some honey roasted pecans!

    Sweet n'Salty snacks are my THANG! I never thought to try the jelly beans with nuts. My favorite sweet n'salty mix is the white chocolate flipz pretzels... Also kettle corn is the bomb!

    Yesterday I had a craving and was actually wondering if anybody besides my family ate peanuts and jelly beans. I've been searching the internet and finally came across your blog. I live in California, but my family and I are originally from St. Louis. This has got to explain it! Lol it's a St. Louis thing! Lol
