This recipe has been handed down for at least 4 generations thus far. It is total Blarney! Our family has made this recipe each St. Patrick's Day for approximately 60 years and none of us are Irish! It is a messy experience that we just can not resist putting ourselves through each year all for the sake of tradition! Hope you...

Steps:
- 1. Grind peanuts with a meat grinder or food chopper (The one from Pampered Chef works very well). Set peanuts aside in a shallow dish.
- 2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- 3. Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually add hot water and flour mixture alternately to mix.
- 4. Pour into greased jelly roll pan.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool.
- 6. While cake is baking, prepare very thin powdered sugar icing.
- 7. Cut cooled cake into approximately 1 1/2" X 2" rectangular squares.
- 8. Now comes the FUN! This is a little less messy if you have two people.
- 9. You have a shallow dish of icing, a shallow dish of crushed peanuts and the cut bars of cake. Roll the cake in the thin icing and then in the crushed peanuts.
- 10. Dry on racks or waxed paper. These bars do not keep particularly well. They should be enjoyed and shared with friends on the holiday.
- 11. HINT: I find that lining the jelly roll pan with parchment paper instead of greasing works well.
