i dried these about 3 weeks.you can tell when they are ready.they look real dry and you can see ridges on the shell.ieven after this you need to lay them out on counter top to completely dry out.the nut has a "snap" to when ready for storage.these things are great in fudge and brownies... ;D ;D

Duke traps sells one very similar. They also sell a tool that will pick them up for you so your not bending over all the time. Bending over is hard on us old folks you know...Hope this help, HB Ken
