Circus peanuts are one of the most popular candies in my hometown's old-fashioned candy shop. When I saw this circus peanut Jell-O recipe, I knew just where to buy them. Kids love the cool fruity taste, and older folks enjoy the trip down memory lane. -Ruthanne Mengel, De Motte, Indiana

This gelatin was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of circus peanuts. Other than that, it was a well-made dessert.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of leftover circus peanuts that I didn't know what to do with, and this gelatin was the perfect solution. It was easy to make and turned out delicious.

I'm not a big fan of circus peanuts, but I have to admit this gelatin was pretty good. The peanut butter flavor was strong, but not overpowering, and the texture was smooth and creamy.
