They look nothing like beans and in fact do not involve beans at all. Boston Baked Beans are basically peanuts with a sugar coating. They are delicious and not very easy to find, even in Boston.
I like the cartoon peanut that's basically like "this guy".
They have really good ones at Hidden Sweets in Harvard Square. :)
ReplyDeletegood to know!
DeleteHmmm, just peanuts you say?
ReplyDeleteand MASSIVE amounts of fake sugar ;)
DeleteThey look like "Red Hots" Do they still have Red Hots? THe challenge used to be to eat a whole box at once.
ReplyDeleteThey do! Been a long time since I've had those. I don't think my stomach could handle a box of red hots any more.
