How do you get a 150 degree oven? Sounds lovely though!

Hi Leah… I have a digital oven that I can set to 150. But you can use a dehydrator, or have your oven on the lowest possible setting with the door open. If you then turn off the oven and leave the oven light on it should stay pretty warm. You may need to check with a thermometer though. thanks, good question!

You say This is a variation of the Crispy Peanuts recipe. So could this be done with peanuts? eg for using to make peanut butter.

yep! I am going to make this with peanuts soon too so I can make peanut butter for the kids. I think peanut butter is a separate recipe in NT so will be posting that in the next few weeks…
