I sometimes have varied the peanuts according to what we have had on hand. You can also use dry roasted nuts. Whatever nuts you use you’ll need about 3 ½ cups of nuts.

These are spicy, but if you like spicy foods you’ll love these! I like to make these and store them in quart jars and give them as gifts (especially to the men in your life…husband, dad-in-law, brother, Pastor etc.) These store very well so would even be great to take along on trips or camping!

I bet my husband would love these. I am not as into the spicy, but if not too hot I would like them too. But he loves peanuts. I will have to make them…they sound really good.
