You can find whole milk and granulated sugar at any grocery store. Roasted peanuts are usually in the baking aisle or snack section; look for "snack nuts" or "baking nuts." For the chocolate drink mix, check the breakfast or baking aisle. If you can't find skin-on peanuts, regular roasted peanuts will work, though the flavor might be slightly different. The halved peanuts for garnish are typically found with other nuts.
