I was going to start off this post by yelling “Grab My Nuts” but that would just be tacky.
Ya,
so…
sorry!
*smiles sheepishly*
But they do look good don’t they?
I made these when I made the Taco Seasoned Pretzels the other day. I had interviewed Cassie from Bake Your Day and could not decide which of her recipes I wanted to do for Burning Down The Kitchen so I made three of them. This is numero deux. 3 will hit you another day. Cassie has such cool recipes that it’s hard to narrow down what you want to make so I suggest you make them all. It’s the only way to go.
So I slightly adapted this, I mean barely at all, just a pinch, from her Spicy Buffalo Mixed Nuts. They were just too hard to resist. So I whipped up my own version and let me just warn you that they are SPICY, I mean call the fire department hot. Turn the water on me full blast kind of hot. Luckily I like hot, and worse case scenario a hot fireman shows up to put the fire out. So either way it’s win-win.
Now if you don’t like spicy, I beg of you, dial these back. I am warning you now. Loud and clear. Do not come back here whining your little head off cuz these burnt your little over sensitive mouth. If you can’t stand the heat folks, stay outta the kitchen, and away from these nuts. If you ignore my warnings and need medical attention it’s your own fault for thinking I’m exaggerating or kidding. I am NOT, I repeat, I am NOT kidding! These little suckers are spicy. Okay so if that hasn’t enticed you to give them a try, and risk burning your face off, maybe this will.
- 1 cup cocktail peanuts
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2½ teaspoons hot sauce
- 1½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1 package Smokin’ Hot Chipotle Flavour mine was from a company called Cinnamon Hill Farm and it’s a cheeseball and dip mix
-
Mix all your ingredients together. Stir them up really well.
-
Pour them into a slow cooker.
-
Turn on low, uncovered for about 1½ to 2 hours. Slow cookers all cook differently so keep an eye they don’t burn. Mine started to stick at the 2 hour mark.
-
Make sure you check them and mix them up every 30 minutes.
-
Transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet to cool.
-
Serve with a big old “I’m on Fire” grin!
Recipe slightly adapted from Bake Your Day's Spicy Buffalo Mixed Nuts
Sure hope you like them. And you don’t sue me. Once again I’ll add a GIANT DISCLAIMER- THESE ARE NOT FOR WIMPS, IF YOU’RE A WIMP YOU SHOULD NOT EAT THESE NUTS! M’kay!
Enjoy, all you brave souls. Hope you love them as much as we did. I think the fam was mad cuz I picked all the cashews out. What? Like you don’t do that too. Pfft!
Toodles and smoochies! xx

July 21, 2012 at 9:19 PMHope it won’t sound tacky, but I lurve your nuts! Seriously! We love spicy so this is made for us! PS: I would totally go for cashew first too 🙂
Kim Bee says
July 21, 2012 at 10:45 PMI lurve a girls who lurves another girls nuts. Spicy rules. Although I’ve avoided them today so I don’t pay the price at a conference tomorrow. Isn’t it ironic the conference is being held at during the Hot & Spicy Food Festival. Pray for me Anna. Gonna be a long day if I touch any food. And a long 4 hour trip home. Lol!

July 21, 2012 at 9:57 PMI’m a wimp. I’m the queen of wimps. Can’t even eat certain marinara sauces because they’re too spicy. This is an unfortunate affliction 🙁
Kim Bee says
July 21, 2012 at 10:42 PMIt’s okay Kayle. As long as you know you’re a wimp and avoid it I can’t get sued. I lovez ya anyway wimpy girl!

July 21, 2012 at 11:49 PMGot to get me a slow cooker. I tried something similar in the oven but they came out a bit soggy.
Mary @ mary mary quite contrary says

Jen @ Juanita's Cocina says
July 22, 2012 at 12:29 AMI’m anti-nut in general, but I do like ’em spicy if I’m going to put ’em in my mouth.
*ahem*
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:11 PMAnti-nut? Are you nuts? I am totally pro-nut. Nothing like nuts in your….I can’t even finish that one.
One day we’re going to meet in person and get in SO much trouble together.
Christine says
July 22, 2012 at 3:22 AMThey do look good.
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:15 PMThanks Christine.
Tya @ Note Etc. says

Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:18 PMNice to have you here. Love anyone who digs spicy. Not sure if I’ll make the move to dailybuzz or not. Undecided.
Eftychia says
July 22, 2012 at 6:39 AMCan I have a few of those please? Or maybe all of them? 🙂
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:22 PMYou can have as many as you like. I love to share.
Ramona says
July 22, 2012 at 6:49 AMYou know I love spice… these are my kind of nuts!! I’d grab them for sure… LOL! I love the cashews too….
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:29 PMAll cool people love spice. Just sayin’.
I can’t help but grab all the cashews. It’s what I do. It’s like taking all the pretzels out of party mix.
cassie says
July 22, 2012 at 10:04 AMYou are so sweet Kim, I just remembered these and need to try them again, so glad you liked them! 🙂 Can’t wait to see the third!
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:32 PMThanks so much Cassie. I had fun making them. Your nuts rock.
Rebecca Walker says
July 22, 2012 at 11:39 AMWhoo-eee! Those sound like a bull ride for the tastebuds! Only the truly macho mouth could last a full 8 seconds. I’ve got a few “sensitive little mouths” in this house, but imagine the fun if you just set these out at a gathering without warning people… Well, fun I guess if you enjoy seeing people suffer and potentially losing friends… I’ll save them for my own private party!
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:35 PMThey really are. I like the way your mind works. I would be ready with a camera to capture the surprise. We should get together and wreck havoc on the world together.
kitchenriffs says
July 22, 2012 at 1:55 PMOh, I love spiced nuts! In fact I’m currently playing around with my recipe. Quite different from this – I’ll definitely have to make this and compare. Looks terrific. I just can’t keep my hands off . . . oh, let’s not go there! 😉 Fun post – thank you.
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:35 PMI can’t wait to see yours. Nuts I mean. Er, wait. Your…crap, I give up.
The Mom Chef ~ Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time says
July 22, 2012 at 7:01 PMI admit it; I’ll be staying away from the nuts. I can’t handle the heat. They look amazing and I’ll bet they’re delicious, but I’ve got a pansy little palate. It’s just the way I’m made. 🙁
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:42 PMSo it has come to this… Christiane admits to being a pansy. I love it. Glad I finally cracked you. I’ll be sure to go light on the spice if you ever visit. We’ll have pansy night at the Bee household. xx
Valerie @ From Valerie's Kitchen says
July 22, 2012 at 7:51 PMThis is the kind of thing I can get in trouble with. Crunchy, spicy, salted stuff is so addictive.
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:49 PMIt’s so good. It’s got so much heat I can barely stand it. Which I love. I have issues. Clearly.
Cucina49 says
July 23, 2012 at 6:50 PMThese have got my name all over them–I love nuts and you’ve given them some extra pizzazz.
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:54 PMI am now picturing a bowl of nuts with your name actually written on all of them. Now that would be cool.
Anita at Hungry Couple says
July 24, 2012 at 9:02 AMCashews aren’t safe around me either. 🙂
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:55 PMWe should form a cashew self help group. Or visit a cashew factory. Whatevs.
DB-The Foodie Stuntman says
July 24, 2012 at 12:56 PMWhen I first saw the title of this post, I thought to myself two things: 1)maybe Kim Bee has finally lost her marbles for real and 2) I didn’t think this was THAT kind of site! After reading this post, I’m reminded of a tv show that aired last year called “America’s Next Great Restaurant” where one of the contestants came onto the show with an Italian meatball concept called Saucy Balls, which has just now lead me to my third thought: Enjoy the web searches that lead to this!
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 7:57 PM1. happened a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnng time ago!
2. totally is!
I welcome all searches, naughty or not. I fell off Santa’s lap, I mean list a long time ago.
Nami | Just One Cookbook says
July 24, 2012 at 2:17 PMI bet my husband loves this recipe and I even start thinking about surprising him with these spicy nuts! 😉
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 8:00 PMYou should Nami. He would totally love them.
Abby says
July 24, 2012 at 4:43 PMI’m so ready to burn my face off! 🙂 Love your nuts! (Falls off chair giggling)
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 8:01 PMHave at it. Nothing better than burning your face off on spicy nuts. *this post has crossed over the dark side* lol
Emily @ Life on Food says
July 25, 2012 at 7:27 PMI am smacking my lips already…why isn’t it football season yet? These are going to make many appearances this fall.
Kim Bee says
July 26, 2012 at 8:18 PMJust rent a football movie and have at it.
