This laugh-out-loud-FUNNY prank can be customized from "naughty-nice" to "downright evil". >:-D
All you need is a friendly get-together, a little pre-planning and "Innocent-looking Peanuts" to pull this off.
Be sure to keep an ample supply of napkins handy... and your camera, too! Just try not to get carried away!!!
First you'll need to construct your Innocent-looking Peanuts:
Sort through the bag and look for peanuts with a crack along the side of the hull. Pry them apart gently and eat the peanuts. (If they're being difficult to pry apart, use a knife.)
Fill the peanut about halfway with whatever you have that is sticky and edible. (That means NON-POISONOUS!)
Be sure to apply a small amount of the sticky stuff to the rim of the shell so it will hold together. (Marshmallow cream works great and so does peanut butter and/or jelly.)
You can also use Elmer's white glue. It's non-toxic and dries clear!
Stick the peanut shell halves together... get your camera ready... and serve to your unsuspecting victims! >;-D

Some pistachio shells are open enough to pull the nut out and replace it with a
jelly-bean ( Grand kids love it ).

Thanks iceng!
Bummer! ;-(
....... but I think I may have a solution to this, Bajablue, you say your hubby sucks the salt off the peanuts before eating them, this gave me a clue to where the confusion lies, you see I've never seen a peanut in it's shell with a salted coating, it's usually dirt as they grow on the ground. So after mulling this info over I came to the conclusion that Bajablue meant the husk around the nut had the salt on it and not the outer shell. The husk is the fine skin usually a golden brownish shade and is sometimes left on the peanuts after they are shelled and then salted and put in a packet and sold as salted peanuts. I really can't see any other answer to this.
..... I hope this has maybe thrown a little light on the situation and my comments are constructive and helpful. This is my first posting, I hope it passes the 'be nice' policy :) :) If not I'm sorry, please don't ban me, I've just paid £26 on a pro membership tonight, I promise to 'be nicer' in future :) :) :)

@Bajablue - I'm not sure if it's an American thing, Sue say's she's never seen them being eaten whole but to be honest I can't understand why the shell would be salted if it's going to be thrown away, salting them would only add to the costs of the product and the farmer/seller wouldn't want that unless it was necessary.
It's interesting that you can buy them roasted in the shell, I've never seen them like that. As you say, it doesn't matter about the hull/husk they're either on or off although I personally squeeze the nut in between finger and thumb to get the nut out as I don't like the hull but again that's a matter for preference. In England we have peanuts in the 'raw', that is in it's shell and unwashed, next there's the same but washed, then you can get them shelled and just the kernel in a bag and finally there's the roasted types oiled and salted or dry roasted, they're my favourite.
So it could possibly be that it's an American thing or inversely it could be that it's not an English thing to eat the shells :-)
Blimey I'm confusing myself now let alone anyone else :-) I think I'll let this one go .......
Have a good day everyone !

Now she's over here in England she watches football instead and follows my team, Manchester United, that's the team that David Beckham first played for when he was 15, he also met Posh at a dinner being held at the club stadium, he was too shy to talk to her so he got Gary Neville, his team mate and best pal, to introduce him.
As England is small enough we can travel all over to watch our teams play so we have no need of following a second team ... I couldn't even think of supporting anyone United, I've followed them for nigh on 50 years, in that time they've become the richest football club in the world mainly since Fergie started his all conquering reign in the early 90's, they have been European champions 3 times, world club champions about 4 times I think and domestic champions 19 times, more than any other club ... some going eh !
Cheers Keith

THAT is (not really) the Question! ;-D
Peanuts can be purchased a lot of different ways in the States.
I buy peanuts roasted IN the shell. The shell is clean... not dirty. The shell is salted and must be broken open to get to the peanuts... which is what most people eat. (I don't pay any attention to what you refer to as the hull. I would describe it as "skin" but that's neither here nor there.;-)
If you read other replies, this prank will make more sense... or maybe it's an American thing? 8-)
At any rate... WELCOME to Instructables!!!!
Even better is VERY small noodles, or dough pressed into and boiled. Will look like weevils have invaded the nuts and may even roll around as they open.
Do others eat the shell?
I'm not sure, but I think a lot of people eat peanuts this way???
How do you eat peanuts?
I like the singles (with just one peanut) best. Otherwise, it's too big a mouthful to chew up.
Gotta love that salty, crunchy FIBER. ;-D
Thanks for your comment!
Step 2: Soak in the hottest hot sauce you can find
Step 3: Carefully glue back inside the peanut shells.
Step 4: Hide. Because someone is going to be out to get you for sure...
Excellent variation, cchub!!!!!! ;-D
