The South has forever been abundant in farmlands rolling with peaches, pecans, watermelon, and okra-but no crop might be quite so Southern as the humble peanut. If there was a designated Peanut Country, we'd be smack in the middle of it, with nearly 45 percent of peanuts grown in Georgia and the remainder throughout the South, particularly in Alabama and Texas. So it comes to no surprise that some of the South's most old-fashioned candies found in roadside stores, as well as your grandmother's kitchen, chose the beloved peanut as the star of the sugary show. Seriously, Southerners can't get enough of them-peanut brittle, Goo Goo Clusters, peanut chews, Chick-O-Sticks, and one of our personal favorites: a lesser-known candy called Peanut Patties made popular thanks to a candy company in Tyler, Texas. Similar to peanut brittle, but with a slightly chewier texture underneath the hard caramelized shell (especially when homemade), Peanut Patties are made with simple ingredients like light corn syrup, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and evaporated milk; and they are the most popular candy product made by small-town confection company Tyler Candy (located, you guessed it, in Tyler, Texas), which started in 1941 and still uses the peanut patty-making machine patented by the founder.
Thank you for this, I always enjoy learning the history of different things. I will be sure to try the pattie again if I see them other places to compare (hopefully it is this one experience was a misstep). I am generally a fan of most peanut forward products.
YES!!! I freakn LOVE Amarillo, TX. I am an OTR driver and go to Amarillo Tyson plant often. I would seriously consider moving to Amarillo from San Antonio where I am now. Will see what the future holds.
As an OTR truck driver I made my peace with it. When I'm on the road I know I cant go so I always refer to it as "Boo-C". However, when I am going home for home time, driving back to Texas its BUC-EE'S 😃
When I was younger, I bought a peanut patty to try it, and I lost 2 teeth when I bit into it. It was good that I was young and had not lost all my baby teeth yet. So, it just made those teeth come out a lot sooner than probably would have.
I am not a trucker nor do I personally know a trucker. Buc-ee's could give out free food and I would not go there. Their policy of no truckers is insane, unreasonable, and what type of vehicle delivers their store stock? Also what type of vehicle delivers almost everything you bring to your house. Why screw the truckers? Without these truckers our great nation would be totally broken, empty shelves and out of control prices. This is how we show thanks to these people? Buc-ee's has plenty of property and money to accommodate truckers instead of showing their middle finger to them.
Best promo for this place to explain to people who haven’t been
Wow a road trip to visit as many of these as possible sounds like a good idea.

I remember eating those peanut patties as a little kid. Forgot all about them thanks for the history!
I had never heard of this chain until a few weeks ago, but apparently we're getting one here in Amarillo soon.
It is definitely an experience to behold at least once.

Just a heads up, they do not allow trucks. Not even bobtails allowed.

I was just here for the first time Friday June 16th coolest gas station convenient store I've ever been to period 🦦
It is a nice stop for cheap gas and decent eats.
Cant believe you've never seen a peanut patty, LOL
I see, you see, We both see an icee.
Haha
When I was younger, I bought a peanut patty to try it, and I lost 2 teeth when I bit into it. It was good that I was young and had not lost all my baby teeth yet. So, it just made those teeth come out a lot sooner than probably would have.
Luckily, it was just your baby teeth you lost. It is no fun losing teeth regardless. I am still in shock the patty was that hard.
My brain doesn’t compute how everything is not Texas branded in there😅
Haha
They market to the state and area each store is located.
I wonder how good their pork rinds are?
I wish we had a bucces in my town “ ❤❤❤
Lol I stop there a ton
Yeah I have been 6 times now lol
Hell, I'd eat what that dude was shoving down the hole lol.
Buccues come to maryland plz
They are getting closer to Ohio 🙏🙏
They seem to definitely expanding further north.
1 has been announced in the state of Ohio
@@forwardthinkingtrucker 🥰🥰 , Thanks for sharing that info.
They don’t allow truckers except for deliveries to them
What’s wrong with the thousands of truck stops and other places specifically designed to cater to truck traffic?
😎✌👍🎼🎵🎶

There are thousands of places designed to cater to truck traffic. Why can’t families and tourists have 1 place designed for them away from trucks?
just don't understand the hype for these stores. they are just over priced and cater to foolish people who follow the hype
😂😂😂😂
I can't stand Buc-ees, nothing green, very little fresh fruit or vegetables but a LOT of meat and white bread, horrific snacks, just no thank you
