Where to find ingredients
Raw peanuts can be found in the bulk bins or dried goods aisle of most supermarkets. Look for them in Latin or international food markets as well. Egg yolks are available in the dairy section of supermarkets. Milk and sugar are standard supermarket staples. Breadcrumbs are typically found in the baking aisle. Cocoa powder is also in the baking aisle, often near the chocolate chips and other baking mixes. If you cannot find cocoa powder, you can substitute with unsweetened baking chocolate, melted.
