Sweet Heat Peanuts

Whipped up a batch of these this morning. They’re supposed to go into my father-in-law’s Christmas goodie basket, but my family has discovered them and they won’t last that long, I’m afraid.

Ingredients:

1 jar dry roasted peanuts
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 250F. Put butter into a 9 x 13 pan and place pan into oven. Allow butter to melt, then remove. Add sugar, water, chili powder, and cayenne. Stir to combine. Once mixed, add peanuts and stir again. Place into oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Store in an air tight container.
