They were still warm, and tasted so good we still talk about them. Anyone know where I can find *real* fresh roasted peanuts (and not the kind that are just warmed up) - anywhere in SI, Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Newark/Elizabeth? Thanks!

I personally think these are great and always choose them over any sugar fix there; their candies are presumably homemade, but so cloying I almost gag. The peanuts, though, are great - warm, crispy, and a large bag will last me the (long) subway ride home. Don't expect it to be the Rosebud of your childhood (for all I know, they may just be warmed up) but they might be a decent approximation.
