While I was getting some almonds ready to smoke, my better half asked me about making some smoked peanuts for her. The only peanuts I had around the house were roasted, salted in-the-shell peanuts. So we spent an hour or so shelling them, and I decided that I'd try some spicy peanuts, since we both like spicy.
Her favorite sauce is Franks Red Hot, she puts it on everything. So I thought, why not try it on the peanuts? I made a sauce of about 1/3 cup melted butter, and about 1/2 cup of franks. Poured it and the peanuts in a bowl and tossed well. I let them sit for a while while the last batch of almonds were smoking, stirring occasionally.
after the almonds came out, I spread the peanuts on the rack and just to "kick it up a notch" I sprinkled them liberally with cayenne pepper powder. Stuck 'em in the smoker for about an hour (since they were already roasted) at 240. Man I have to say these things are good. Nice franks flavor up front, and a big hit of heat after a couple seconds. They went so fast I didn't get a chance to take any pictures! lol.
Definitely need to get to the store and pic up some more peanuts!
