Ingredients
- 1 one pound bag of dry roasted peanuts in the shell.
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of chipotle seasoning
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder or garlic salt
- Water
Steps
- Assemble all of the ingredients.
- Boil together for a minimum of 3 hours.
- Check every 45 minutes to ensure that there is enough water. The water will start to boil down and need replacing.
- Start to let the water boil away in the third hour. Not so much that the peanuts burn, but enough that the seasoning will stick to the shells to add more flavor and spice.
