Judging by the name of this candy combined with the aesthetics, I would say that the French have an odd peanut burning procedure. The peanuts in this candy seem to be more-so coated in a lumpy red sugary shell than burnt in any way, but the taste tells another story.
I think that these peanuts have not only been disguised as some sort of geological unit from Mars, but the peanut inside definitely tastes burnt. The French must have found a way inside of the alien eggs, burnt the peanuts, and then sealed them back up with some sort of sortilège (magic spell). The possibilities the universe has to offer never ceases to blow my mind!
These strange red ovals of extremely crunchy candy have the perfect sweet, to salty, to burntness ratio of tastes that make it one of the Willy Wonka of Candyfavorites.com’s favorite candies. Yes, you heard me correctly, Jon Prince, the man himself (who you might be surprised to hear does not eat a whole lot of candy) recommends the French Burnt Peanuts.

these are freacking great
There is very little information available about the French burnt peanut, but every single item I’ve read joking speculates they are from Mars. This leads me to a theory: they *are* from Mars, and are a technology that ancient Martians used to try to communicate with us, and make us aware of their existence.
My husband and I are dying to know how these candy peanuts end up with the somewhat uniformly bumpiness??
We have found lots of recipes to make them yourself but none cover why they look the way they do. Homemade versions do not look like the store bought kinds.
We would really appreciate it if someone can help answer this question.
😁😁
French burnt peanuts were made in France a few hundred years ago, the original. When in Paris was was told about a very old candy store and found them, made the same way for years.
Well, the way I understand it, back in the day when we bought them by placing a penny in a machine that looked like a bubble gum machine the texture was what kept them from sticking together in one massive lump
Joy Manda, the question was how? Not Why.
Burnt Peanuts or Bat Poo as we called them as a child are the crack cocaine of candies. I’ve been addicted to them for 59 years.
Where can they be found!!!
