Hi Fran. I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your order. Our peanut patties are famously known for being very thick and having an extreme amount of peanuts piled on top of the patties and also throughout the patties. Yes, cinnamon is used with the peanut patties and is listed in the ingredient label on the pattie and also in the description on our webpage. Also, please rest assured that the patties you received were not old, as they were freshly made before shipping your order. If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding your orders, please feel free to reach out to us directly for assistance. Thank you!
