Ingredients

  • 1 cup cocktail peanuts
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce more or less to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper more or less to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder more or less to taste

Instructions

  • Mix all your ingredients together in a bowl. Stir them up really well.
  • Transfer them to the slow cooker.
  • Turn on low, uncovered and cook 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!

Notes

WARNING: These spicy nuts are hot! If you don't have a high tolerance for spices you can dial back the spices. It's better to start off with a little spice and gradually increase. Taste as you go so you don't overdo it!!
