Peanut Cluster Day

This food holiday celebrates the sweet and salty fusion of melted chocolate and peanuts.

Introduced commercially in the United States as the Goo Goo Cluster in 1912 and shipped to soldiers at the front during wartime, the popular candy's special day is March 8, which occurs during National Peanut Month in the USA..

Peanut clusters have been a beloved treat since the late 19th century, when advancements in agriculture and technology made peanuts widely available, and improvements in chocolate processing allowed for the creation of moldable chocolate.

Combining the sweetness of chocolate with the crunchiness of peanuts made the peanut cluster a staple in American confectionery.
