Cornstarch biscuits (like Maria cookies or similar plain, dry biscuits) can be found in the cookie aisle of most supermarkets. Roasted and skinned peanuts are usually available in the snack or baking section of larger supermarkets, health food stores, or at specialty nut shops. Chocolate drink mix powder is widely available in the coffee and tea or baking aisle of supermarkets. Condensed milk and standard pantry items are readily available in all supermarkets.
