Hot Cocktail Peanut Mix Recipe

by

hot and spicy peanut cocktail mix

This hot cocktail peanut mix is easy to mix up for a party or just enjoy it as a snack.  My friend Anne shared the recipe with me and the mix can be quite addictive.  It has just the right amount of heat to it, but you can also adjust the heat to your individual tastebuds.


It’s baseball season and this mix would be great to make for tailgate party.  We are big Kansas City Royal’s fans and it has been an exciting season so far for the Royals.  For other tailgating recipe ideas try this spicy garlic chex mix, easy corn dip, and 12 recipes on a stick.

  1. I made this recipe! It’s soooo good Rob and I loved it. I think I added too much salt next time I will be more aware. It’s also hard to find the RAW nuts so I had to use lightly salted which means I should of cut back on the salt in the recipe.
