[email protected]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.

[email protected]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.
