To wit: this most fabulous pink peanut patty made in Tyler, Texas. I bought the only three on the shelf in a local Fiesta Supermarket and have already eaten my way through one and am into the second. They are huge and I am a glutton. These sugar and nut delights take me to a new heights; the sugar rocketing me quickly and the nuts sustaining the energy. Awesome.
More on other culinary delights from Houston soon.
You are on a roll with all the wonderful food in your life lately. This peanut pattie looks like organized peanut brittle.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've eaten almost half of one of these things today. Two more are coming to you in CA tomorrow. For your eating pleasure.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! You have found my greatest joy as a child: Dickie peanut pattie!!. I grew up in East Texas and these peanut patties were in nearly every store. I'm now in central Texas and thought I had found a gold mine when I found them at the largest food chain in the area. Alas, all things must come to an end. The patties are no longer sold at the store...I guess I couldn't buy enough to keep them in business. But I do search from them when I visit East Texas...there's nothing like them and others just don't and can't compare. From a forty something peanut pattie fan :-)
ReplyDeleteI live in richland washington now. I grew up in Texas. Every time I go to Texas I MUST buy more. I really miss them. I don't have connections Dickies to keep me supplied. They are the best! I'm happy to have stumbled on to your site. Thanks for the wonderful reminders. Fifty and missing Dickies peanut patty.
ReplyDeleteI recently moved to AZ--without re-supplying my Dickies Patties !!
ReplyDeleteNo luck with Tyler Candy Co. website...I have half of a 9 oz.left before I go into "no-sugar-shock". At 83, I should have found the source by now, but Maybe if I sweet-talk my ex-neighbors in Houston, they'll send me a batch from Fooderama !!
I remember this candy treat from my childhood in West Texas, Back in Lubbock it was Goodarts Peanut Patties. Miss them now that I live in the Pacific N/W. My folks just came through Olive Pit, California and stopped at a store and Dad found the Dickies Jumbo Peanut patties and promptly bought 6 of em, one for each of my kids and myself, my hubby and one for each of my folks. talk about heaven.

ReplyDeleteTry eating some of the Elve's Peanut Patties in NE Texas around the Texarkana area, If you thought Dickies were good you are in for a real treat,much bigger,more peanuts and softer.. They will mail you a box of 20 for 22.00 plus the shipping which is 11.95. Phone # is 870-653-4310. They have been making these for 58 yrs. Has to be a reason.
