Texas Highways (state magazine): the peanut patty is a chewy, praline-like disc of hot sugar, vanilla, and peanuts — a Texas convenience-store staple since its debut sometime in the late 1930s, coinciding with the rise of Texas peanut farming; Raymond Goodart began selling them from his Anton garage (Goodart's, Lubbock, from 1939), followed by Tyler Candy Company (1941) and Anderson Candy Company (1980s), and makers ship across the South. Stored peanuts and the Southern candy framing established; the source describes the candy base as hot sugar rather than the stored word 'syrup.'
