    Goodart Candy

    Goodart Candy

    I discovered Goodart's candies at a gas station convenience store on a recent road trip through…read moreWest Texas. I was famished and needed something a little salty and a little sweet. As expected, the vast majority of the convenience store foodstuffs were heavily processed, mass-produced garbage. I was about to give up and lick my own sweaty pecs for salt when I spotted the Goodart's display. I'd never heard of Goodart's before, but the spartan packaging (indicative of a small, independently owned company) and "Go Texan!" branding gave me a good first impression. The options included an assortment of peanut candies, including various brittles and something new to me: a "Peanut Pattie [sic]." I grabbed the largest iteration of the "pattie" (the aptly named "Super Pattie"), paid the inbred Devil's reject at the counter, and went on my way. The "pattie" struck me as a cross between a nougat and a brittle: not quite as soft as the former, but not nearly as crunchy (and...uh...brittle) as the latter. Lightly caramelized sugar was the dominant flavor, but the salt from the peanuts crept in towards the end of every bite. I would have preferred a more balanced salt-to-sweet ratio, but I was so famished that I woofed that one-pound bad boy down faster than a...starving, sweaty, clairsentient/clairaudient occultist man-child wearing glow-in-the-dark Pokémon pajama bottoms. As my blood sugar returned to normal, I took a moment to Google the company and discovered that Goodart's has been making its peanut candies by hand in small batches since 1939. The company consists of only ten employees, all of them Lubbock natives. The products are available at convenience stores and family-owned cafes throughout West Texas. If you spot the distinctive Goodart's packaging at a convenience store, I'd suggest giving the pattie (or perhaps the brittle) a try. Side note: I was so delirious with hunger and low blood sugar that I initially mistook the name as "Goodfart's." Indeed, peanuts contain a significant amount of flatulence-producing phytates and tannins, so my hypoglycemic visual hallucination was rooted in scientific fact. I would, however, hesitate to describe my emissions as "good," as my long-suffering dad/chauffeur would indubitably substantiate. But I digress. The pattie tasted good and I recommend that you eat one.

    Last year I visited a Love's Gas station & to my amazement saw this huge Peanut Pattie...it was big…read moreand round...I bought it for $3.00; then went back and bought two more before leaving my Hunting vacation close to Hereford TX back to San Antonio TX. I got home called Goodart's to notify them the candy was fresh & delicious. The best treat I had in a long time.

    There are signs all over that say UFO Fizz is going out of business ! We were walking down the…read moremain Street in Roswell and we had already purchased a couple sodas and candies from a few of the other stores we had shopped at , so since the signs said everything must go we made sure to stop in here as well . Obviously it was a little empty inside and we just didn't find anything that we wanted. This ceiling was cool though, decorated with lights and such. If you're interested in shopping here, I suggest you come soon!

    We came hoping maybe they would have classic soda fountain and even though they didn't have one we…read morestill left super happy. It's located on Main Street right across from the UFO museum and a cold drink was an attractive temptation on a hot day. Luana is a gem and knows a lot of local history. The coolest thing we found here was an original ink drawing of the Eddie Macias mural at invasion station. Luana was selling it at cost and went through the extra trouble or shipping into me, much appreciated! Very happy I could have such a unique souvenir of our Roswell trip. They have rare sodas and a bottle opener right at the front. They also have a lot of odd and unique candy including a wall of cotton candy cryptid "poop" on the left. The kids loved the bad of yeti poop I grabbed for them. They have posters and postcards up front with lore Eddie Macias art. I love local flavors like this and ended up with a full set of postcards, my favorite is the alien Aztec postcard!
