I only ever use the redskins (raw, usually labelled Spanish) to make
peanut brittle. I used to make it every year around the holidays which
is about the only time I could find raw peanuts. Years ago a friend of
my brother made some and gave it to him. Apparently she used unsalted
dry roasted peanuts to make the brittle and oh boy, was it bad! The
already cooked peanuts got burnt when added to the candy mixture. Guess
she didn't bother to taste it before she gave it to him.
