- 2 pounds raw peanuts in shell
- 1/4 cup salt

Instructions
- Sort through your peanuts and make sure there are no random pieces of shell, debris, etc. Rinse the peanuts and then soak them in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain.
- Place the peanuts and salt in the crockpot and cover with water until there’s about 1 inch of head room.
- Cook on high for 7 ½ hours or until the desired softness level has been reached.
- Test a peanut halfway through and see if it’s salty enough for you. If not, add more salt and stir.
- Add more water to the crockpot if the water ever falls below the top of the peanuts.
- Once the peanuts are at your desired level of softness, drain and enjoy!
