These are an easy, tasty snack. We love these to snack on when watching TV or movies.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Once these spicy peanuts are cooled, they're addictive to munch on. The peanuts are toasted and spicy with a nice flavor of garlic and onion from the Cajun spices. Simple ingredients create a fantastic savory snack. If you're looking for an easy hostess gift, give these a try.
