I've given measurements for a smaller batch below, you can check out the original recipe for a bigger party.
For each 1 C salted peanuts:
1/4 C sugar
1 tsp hot sauce
2 tsp water-if you like hot sauce... use 1 tsp water, 1 tsp hot sauce
2 tsp butter, softened
1/3 tsp chili powder-just estimate
- Mix everything in vessel of slow cooker (I use my 2 quart Crock Pot).
- Place paper towels under lid and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours, stirring well once at 45 minutes. Be sure to remove the lid away from the vessel so condensation doesn't drip back down into the nuts.
- Pour onto silicone (preferably) or parchment or ~good~ wax paper (do not use dollar store wax paper... trust me).
- Spread out and allow to cool completely. Break apart and store in air tight container.
Have a sticky sweet happy day:@)
I've never used my slow cooker for nuts or candy before Lynn, I'll have to give it a try! We'd like the extra dash of hot sauce too :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love the sweet part but not he spicy I'm afraid. Still I have a son in law who would love these!!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, these sound good! I just learned a tip for dealing with condensation using a crock pot, put a paper towel or two under the lid to collect the moisture, it works really well...

This sounds like a delicious snack!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Sweet, salty AND spicy!!! Perfect for that nervous game munching (the whole city of Indianapolis is rooting for the Eagles---or at least against the Patriots ;)).
ReplyDeleteWhat an easy way of making the sweet and spicy peanuts, Lynn! I am going to try this for sure. I know you'll be busy preparing for the big game. Go Eagles!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, especially since I have a 3 pound can of peanuts (Christmas gift) that have not been opened.
