Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, an iconic American candy, boasts a rich history dating back to 1917. Created by the Goldenberg family in Philadelphia, these chewy, chocolatey bites loaded with crunchy peanuts were initially developed as a high-energy, high-protein ration bar for U.S. troops during World War I. Their enduring popularity led to retail sales in 1921, transitioning from a full-size bar to the beloved individual pieces we know today. Acquired by Just Born in 2003, the company briefly attempted to rebrand them, but strong consumer loyalty in their Mid-Atlantic heartland quickly led to the reinstatement of the "Goldenberg's" name. This commitment to tradition continues to make them a cherished treat.
