Time 1h

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
16 small dried chilies
2 whole heads of garlic, peeled and sliced
24 ounces dry roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat oil in skillet. Saute chilies and only half of the garlic 1-2 minutes. Stir constantly.
  • Stir in peanuts and transfer to a pam sprayed 13x9" dish. Bake at 350F 5-8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with salt and chili powder. Mix well. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Lower heat to 200°F.
  • Place remaining garlic in the unwashed 13x9-inch dish. Bake until garlic is dry and kind of light in color. It will get hard but be careful not to burn it. I'm not sure about the time this takes.
  • Mix dried garlic in with the peanuts. Usually you can store this in the original peanut container.
  • Shake here and there for the next couple of days. Break open a few chilie pods and shake the seeds in if you want it hotter. These taste better the longer they sit and will last several weeks if they don't get eaten first.

Wow! These peanuts are addicting! They are easy to make and would be great for a party. Make sure to drain very well after cooking or they will be greasy. The recipe comes from the Betty Crocker Christmas cookbook.

HOT 'N SPICY PEANUTS



Hot 'n Spicy Peanuts image

I remember when I was a little girl, sitting on my dad's lap, eating salted peanuts in the shell and we had so much fun cracking them open for hours on end! Maybe my love for peanuts comes from the memories of my dad and the short time I got to spend with him. Or maybe we both just share the same tastes. At any rate, oh boy, I do...
