They are made with raw peanuts in the shell. If you can find raw all you have to do is boil them for 1/2 hr or the shells begin to separate season as you wish. Roasted whole peanuts won't work.

Start with fresh "green" peanuts. Green means raw. Wash in shell in cold water. Put them in a pot, cover with cold water about 2 inches above the peanuts. Add salt and hot pepper sauce (like Texas Pete). Some people use a little barbeque sauce or garlic powder. I like adobo, salt and hot sauce. Bring to a full boil (covered) and boil for at least 45 minutes. You can start tasting now.They should be about as soft as a cooked pinto bean. Some people like them really soft and spicy. Now is the time to correct your seasoning and decide whether to cook them longer.When done, drain in a colander and shell as you eat. If you shell them all at once, they will dry out. Refrigerate the leftovers. You can micro on low to reheat. Enjoy ya'll !!!
Southern lowlands cook of forty years.
Boiled peanuts are a southern treat as old as the south itself. During peanut season, little roadside goober shacks are a common sight in places like Georgia and Alabama. If you find yourself away from home and craving a fresh bag of boiled peanuts, or if you're a curious Yankee, you should try making your own batch.

As a guide, boil 1lb of cleaned, fresh raw peanuts to 4 cups of water with 2 tbsp table salt and some seasoning like McCormick Old Bay Seasoning and star anise. Boil for 2 - 3 hours over medium heat, longer if you prefer the inside nuts to be softer. If you like it less salty, reduce the salt amount. Drain, cool and enjoy!
Make sure what kind of peanuts you will use. The best and most expensive are usually the "raw" or green. This is an all day operation and can take 5 - 7 hours. Be careful to not let the pot run dry. You should check on the water level frequently. Also check the amounts of salt. This is an easy process, but needs patience.
Your kidding right. Add the peanuts to hot boiling water. Boil. Test for desired consistency. When done, drain. When drained, shell. When shelled, eat.
