flavorless and barely spicy. I first followed the recipe exactly, then added A LOT more salt, then had to add WAY more cayenne pepper and even some chipotle powder, and STILL was very disappointed. If you like spicy food at all, you will definitely think these need WAY more heat. The egg white was a nice trick though, worked very nicely in keeping all the peanuts coated in the spice mix...just needed a better spice mix! Will try this technique again, but definitely make up my own spice mixture.

My husband and I moved to Las Vegas after retirement in 2000. We lived in South Bend, IN for about 26 years. We both like to travel and we have taken up RV camping and enjoy it a lot. Most of our camping is done in Nevada Utah Arizona and So. California. During the summers our (almost) 9 year old Granddaughter will go with us sometimes. Our Daughter, Son-in-law, and Granddaughter have lived in Las Vegas since January 2001.
