Default Peanuts

Am I the only one who remembers the redskin peanuts that came in the red round box? They cost a nickel and sometimes if you were lucky, there would be anywhere from a nickel to a dollar bill (dollars were very rare!) inside. Love a sack of salted peanuts in a Coke, too. I've never been much of a sweet-eater, but I do like:

Dark Chocolate with Red Wine
Chocolate Covered Cherries
York Patties or Junior Mints
Mounds

Treat? Strange as it may seem to most, I used to bug my mother anytime she made biscuits for some of the dough. Mmmm...can taste it now! I used to make my own biscuits until the others came along and I got lazy. Always had to have some of mine, too. Don't trust the commercial ones, though.
