Im a cali guy with a southern wife. She assured me these peanuts are the way, the truth, and the light of the south. She boiled them for like 15 hours in the slow cooker and we ate them as is. I was blown away. I got taught how to crack them, drink the juice and eat the nut! It was fun learning and even better eating. The 2nd bag she spiced up a bit herself as we ordered the OG. We plan on ordering even more, thank you for the legendary southern hospitality and food I’ve been told so much about!
