    I grew up in north Florida eating boiled peanuts at many road side stands. I had never heard of using roasted peanuts for them so I decided to give it a try. But it just wasn't anything like what boiled peanuts should taste like. Do it with raw or dried but NOT roasted and you will be pleasantly surprised. Make sure to boil them for a lot longer also.

    @Lakeesha...Didn't have to try the recipe as I have learned from past experiences. Don't be so quick to make assumptions. Trust me, I don't comment unless it is very good or off the mark-and this is a miss!

    I am not originally from the south but have lived here for 3 years now. I also have eaten the raw or the green ones, roasted is not the way to go, sorry! You will surely need to cook them waaayy longer than 2 1/2 hours. I let them sit over night and the were still semi-hard, just not for me.
