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.
