Mmmm Cherry Mash

Cherry Mash

Cherry Mash consists of a soft cherry flavored center containing real maraschino cherries covered in a mixture of chopped roasted peanuts and chocolate coating.

[ Cherry Mash: America's favorite cherry flavored candy bar ]

If you watched Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt, you saw him eat this treat and actually like it. So when I saw it for sale at the C.J. Olson Cherry's fruit stand, I knew I had to grab a few. What I didn't know, since I wasn't paying attention, is that it's not a cherry flavored center surrounded by chocolate, but surrounded by peanuts and chocolate. I just may have found a new favorite candy bar (though more of a lump than bar). And living no where near Kansas City, MO I will have to figure out how to secure a steady supply of these cherry-peanut-chocolate treats.

Yum.

I thought you were gonna say you were allergic to peanuts and you ended up being rushed to the emergency ward and you woke up later scaring the bejeezis out of the mortician.

And this evening, you just made your daughter squealed with excitement when she received it as one of her birthday presents!

I seem to recall that they tried two different versions, and one brand was ghastly and one was good. I take it this was the good one.
