My jar of peanuts was only about 4 cups, so I skimped a bit on the butter and spices. I left them in the oven for a little too long, even thought I turned the oven off, and they got a little over brown. But none-the-less, they were tasty! DH loved them, too. Made for your football win!

At first when I made these I was a bit disappointed that they were a bit oily after preparing them, but after sitting for a few days the oil has been absorbed into the nuts and they are much better.<br/>The spicing on these is delicious and excellent and makes a very nice batch of spicy peanuts---just make them a few days ahead of time for best results.
