Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews began in Philadelphia in 1917 as a candy developed for U.S. military rations during World War I. More than a century later, these bite-sized treats still deliver their distinctive combination of crunchy roasted peanuts, a chewy center, and a chocolatey coating.

A Philadelphia favorite with a story to tell, Peanut Chews are easy to share, tuck into a gift, or keep on hand for a small afternoon treat.

Why We Chose It

There’s a Reason It’s Here.

Few candies in our collection connect their birthplace, history, and present-day production so clearly. Peanut Chews began as a World War I ration bar and are still made in Philadelphia. That makes them a natural fit for the American Candy Counter—and an especially good addition to a Pennsylvania gift.

From Wartime Ration to Philadelphia Favorite

The Goldenberg family first made Peanut Chews in Philadelphia in 1917, developing them as a ration bar for U.S. service members during World War I. Their combination of peanuts, chew, and chocolatey flavor went on to become a lasting local favorite.

Just Born acquired the brand in 2003 and continues to make Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews in Philadelphia. More than a century after their introduction, the candy remains connected to the city where its story began.
