Delish! At first I thought the seasonings tasted too raw but after letting them sit for a day they were perfect. Thanks for sharing!

I cannot honestly understand why the person making comment #4 would give them to a small child. And if they are 4 years old, they are hardly a "baby" anymore. But I digress on such stupidity. This is an easy, awesome recipe.

I love the spices in the snack. Yes, they are very addicting!! Unfortunately I didn't have peanuts so I used almonds. YUMMY!! Made for Fall PAC 2011.

This is the second recipe I have tried to create spicy peanuts. It is PERFECTION! We have 90,000 Scoville units cayenne, and with 2 teaspoons, my bf and I may be the only ones who can eat them. More for us!!

I am a 2 for $1 spicy peanut king at the gas station. Not anymore, this is perfect. Key point! Only warm the peanuts up. Not even 2 minute for me. I buy the cans from the dollar store and make the in to pure goodness. Thanks for the recipe!
