Happy Monday, y’all!
How was the weekend? We did Christmas on Saturday because I gave my ex-husband the holidays this year. Santa came and all that.
So I ate cookies literally all weekend and now I think I need to go on a detox for the next month and a half.
Also, super excited to put all the Christmas decorations away the second I hand the kids over to their dad.
Anyway, our Christmas was fabulous. As you know, this was the first one since the divorce and I had a moment of “Whoa, I actually pulled this off all by myself” as I watched the kiddos open their gifts.
Let’s talk party snacks now!
I still have a couple Christmas parties to attend and I’ll be bringing these Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Peanuts to at least one of them. But I need to make another batch because I definitely ate all of this one over the weekend.
These are SO good. Like the name suggests, they are sweet and spicy and absolutely addictive.
Ingredients
- Salted dry roasted peanuts
- Butter
- Sugar
- Brown sugar
- Sriracha
- Chili powder
Instructions
- Place peanuts in a 1 ½-quart slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Pour over the peanuts and toss to combine.
- Cook on low for 1 ½ hours. Spread onto wax paper to cool.
How Long Is It Good For?
These peanuts will be good for up to a couple months. Just store them at room temperature in an airtight container. I’m obsessed with this airtight super cute glass jar for storing snacks like that.
Can You Freeze It?
I don’t recommend freezing these peanuts. I think the peanuts would absorb too much moisture and get soft.
