Hot and Spicy Cocktail Nuts
"I made these this Christmas as a "nibbling" food, and my family really liked them. They must have been nibbling big time, because these cocktail nuts were all gone before I knew it."

i doubled the recipe and used unsalted peanuts and unsalted pretzels. the flavor was good, but left something to be desired. i added a lot of extra cayenne, but they still weren't what i'd consider spicy. thanks so much for the recipe! -
These are very moorish and I have enjoyed a delightful munch. I did feel they could be hotter but from past experience give them 24 hours and their flavour and heat will develop. Thank you Taste Tester, made for Aussie Swap #25 February 2009.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
