Join the discussionWhere do you find your raw peanuts? I always have a hard time finding them.
Tracie – our local walmart carries them. This year I found them in a baking end cap – they are Fischer brand. I know I have had difficulties in the past as well – Lisa
Lisa – LOL should have known Walmart would have it, I use to do peanut brittle every year but when the place I got peanuts closed I gave up. I’ll have to look at Walmart next week when I’m there. Thanks!!
Lisa – Thank you picked them up today!!!
I accidently found mine at the asian market in our town. Really in-expensive there also!! 3 pound bag for $4
You said to stir in one heaping of soda. Is this baking soda? Just want to make sure.
Yes April – Baking Soda
Dumb question – does “soda” mean baking soda or carbonated beverage?
Ann – Baking Soda
Can you use a vacuum sealer instead of regular freezer bags.
Thanks for your question! We can’t see a reason why you couldn’t use your vacuum sealer instead of freezer bags. We’d love to hear how it turns out for you!
