    1. 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

      1. 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!!

    2. I accidently found mine at the asian market in our town. Really in-expensive there also!! 3 pound bag for $4

    1. 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!
