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.

I cannot stop eating these peanuts! I like the spices exactly as written - a perfect balance, if you ask me. I've learned not to stir more than 2 minutes, or the peanuts get kind of soft. Also, don't forget and add the garlic salt into the oil with the other seasonings, as I once did - that cancelled out the delicious salty taste and made them bland. The ingredients are easy to always have on hand, making this perfect for when you suddenly need to come up with a quick snack. Thanks a bunch for posting!

REALLY good. I changed the spices around a bit (less chili powder, more cayenne, separate garlic powder and salt. I also threw them in the oven for 15 minutes to really roast. MMM. Thanks, Lvs2Cook.

There were SO easy to make! I followed the recipe, but added some additional spices I had gotten from Penzey's — about 1/4 teaspoon each of chipotle pepper powder, Ozark seasoning, and adobo pepper flakes. I gave several batches as gifts and got recipe requests! I'm passing along the recipe link. Thanks, Lvs2Cook, for the easy and delicious recipe!
