HOW TO MAKE
These are so simple and so easy you really don’t even need steps, however some people ask if the peanuts need to be “raw green peanuts” or “raw peanuts” and either will work. I can’t find raw green peanuts in my area, but I did find the raw peanuts in the shell at Walmart in the nut section.
