Pennsylvania Dutch Candies Peanut Butter Pillows, 10-Ounces Tins (Pack of 4)

A classic "old folks" candy that really brings back memories. When I was a kid I remember my grandparents, on both sides, having these in their homes. In fact, it seems like pretty much all the older people, family or not, had a can of these or put them out in a candy dish somewhere. I couldn't keep my hands off of them! My mom would tell me I was being rude when I kept scarfing them down hand over fist instead of politely taking just a few. Of course the elders just chuckled and indulged me, maybe the kid in them still wanted to pound down candy with abandon too. As my visits with aging family and friends became scarce, so did this candy. Eventually it seemed to disappear altogether and I forgot all about it. All this may sound sappy and corny but it really is a warm memory of my childhood, so when I stumbled on these I couldn't wait to have them again! Initially I wondered if they would be "new and improved" which is code for a company completely ruining a classic product, either for marketing or because they found a cheaper way to make it. At any rate, I got my Peanut Butter Pillows which thankfully are Prime eligible so I only had to wait two days, and they are fantastic! Just like I remember! Maybe it's because I am getting older that I somehow uncovered these. Maybe there is this inner sanctum of Old People Candy and just like when you suddenly start receiving AARP brochures and emails, you magically gain access to all the secret ancient candy reserved for children and old folks. To sum up, these are delicious but watch out, they can be addictive!

I'm glad I gave 2 of the canisters away, or I would have eaten all 4. These are very addicting and oh so good. I really love the peanut butter taste. When I first tasted one it reminded me of old-fashioned peanut brittle. Then once it dissolved to the inside peanut butter center, it brought back good ole memories of my childhood. The next time I purchase these I will be ordering before Christmas, to add to my other candies and desserts. The only issue I had with my order was the fact some of the containers were slightly damaged and the candies at the bottom were crumbled. But, that didn't effect the flavor of course and I would not hesitate to order again.

These peanut butter pillow candies are uniquely tasty and textured in a way that sets them apart from the typical candy. They are sweet but not overly so and they provide a satisfying crunch with each bite. These are hard to find, so give them a try if you want to dabble into the more unique side of sweets. Just try not to eat the entire can in one sitting.

I was really looking forward to getting home to eat these. First, about 50% of the can was broken and crushed pieces. That disappointed me, but I was still ok with it, as long as they tasted good. Unfortunately, pillows is not a good name for them. They were so hard, that my teeth and gums are still hurting me hours after trying to eat them. I really wasted my money on them. For the wellbeing of my teeth and gums, I will not be eating any more of them. Update: I did eventually open another can, one night when I was really craving something sweet. I have to say, the other 3 cans were much better than the first one. There were still lots of broken little pieces, and a few really hard, too hard to eat "pillows", but most of them were softer, and tasted delicious. I changed my rating from one star to three stars. The first can that I tried, might have been old, I do not know, but I am glad that I decided to try the other cans.

I finally found these! My grandmother always had them at Christmas, but by the time I thought to ask, no one but me remembered them. They taste and look just as I remembered. Mine arrived in good condition with only minor breakage. (They are crisp, so you expect some) They are delicious even for people without childhood memories of them

I loved those golden crumbles and kept an empty can for over a decade to remind myself to keep looking for a viable replacement. For the cost you really get a good deal on these. They have some overly hard bits, but this is my first can and I don't want to make an overall judgement based on 6 pieces eaten. For what you pay, these are definitely worth it so far. I'm glad for this purchase. Thank you for these.

i just got mine in, my grandma use to send this to me every year on my birthday, was so happy to find it on here, was so gld it hadnt changed. love the candy but the cans are so big, it makes it seems we not getting 10 oz, the can looked so emmty, ups the postage, witch is high, i got auto ship, so no POSTAGE, but for the price its not much candy, an im not sure how long i can keep getting the candy even with the auto ship price, its about $4 a can for 10 oz. candy. but i love the candy sooo much

My siblings and I grew up selling and eating the Kathryn Beich Peanut Golden Crumbles. My dad would purchase cases from whatever fundraiser we were participating in because our family loved the peanut crumbles. Admittedly, I was near tears remembering my Dad while opening the first can... Shared with my sisters and two of us ate an entire can in a single day... respectively. We promised each other to not order more until Thanksgiving...
