That is so cool! I will have to get those for my grandsons. I've been promising them we'd make peanut butter in the food processor ever since the older one said (when I gave him some peanuts), "These are really good. They taste a lot like peanut butter." I'm looking for a source for really fresh peanuts. Years ago, when I tried to make peanut butter from store bought peanuts, with my daughters, the results were less than optimal because the peanuts were just a little stale tasting. It was not noticeable when they were eaten out of hand but very noticeable in the peanut butter. Maybe I should just take them to Whole Foods & let them use the peanut butter machine there.

Hilarious! But won't they also have to evade the draft, abuse illegal drugs and alcohol, run multiple companies into the ground, and be sociopathic idiots? Oh, wait. That's only if their Daddy is President first.

That is so cool! We can't grow peanuts in Canada and I would love to see them in a big happy field.

Very cool. They're doing much better with the growing than I would. If I don't shove it outdoors for mother nature to care for, then my plants just can't handle my forgetful watering strategy.

Wow. I MUST try this!

Alison,

Glad your boys are doing well with the kit. We actually have one here in the office and they get surprisingly big. Like a goldfish, the plants tend to get as large as the container they're in.
Some of our customers send us pictures of their plants, so keep us up to date!
