Goldenberg's Peanut Chews

Goldenberg's Peanut Chews is a popular candy brand that originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was first introduced in 1917 by the Goldenberg family, who owned a small candy shop in the city. The candy quickly gained popularity and became a staple treat for many people in the area.

History

The history of Goldenberg's Peanut Chews dates back to the early 20th century. The Goldenberg family, immigrants from Russia, opened their candy shop in Philadelphia in 1890. They initially sold a variety of candies, but it was their Peanut Chews that became their most successful product.

The original recipe for Goldenberg's Peanut Chews consisted of roasted peanuts mixed with molasses and covered in a chewy, chocolate-flavored coating. The combination of sweet and salty flavors, along with the satisfying chewy texture, made the candy a hit among customers.

Popularity and Expansion

As word spread about the deliciousness of Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, the demand for the candy grew rapidly. The Goldenberg family soon realized they needed to expand their operations to keep up with the increasing orders.

In 1917, the family opened a larger manufacturing facility to meet the growing demand. This allowed them to produce Peanut Chews on a larger scale and distribute them to a wider market. The candy became a favorite among soldiers during World War I, as it provided a convenient and tasty source of energy.

Acquisition and Legacy

In 2003, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews was acquired by the Just Born company, which is also based in Pennsylvania. Just Born is known for producing other popular candies such as Peeps and Mike and Ike. Despite the change in ownership, the recipe and quality of Goldenberg's Peanut Chews have remained unchanged.

Today, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews continue to be a beloved candy in the Philadelphia area and beyond. They are often enjoyed as a nostalgic treat, reminding people of the rich history and tradition associated with the brand.
