I still, just...what? Boiled peanuts are delicious as a tailgating or football-watching snack and often make appearances in the American South as a holiday appetizer! They are so, so good.

Make Ahead Tips: These can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in the cooking liquid covered in the fridge.  Pro tip: Store the entire crock pot insert + lid in the fridge if you can fit it, then stick it back in the heating element to reheat and serve!
