We are doing a home made Christmas this year and as we were packaging up the presents we realized we didn’t have enough for the father-in-law. Since our oven is out, were are limited as to what all we can create. So i did a search for spicy crock pot nuts. And i found this recipe and the supporting recipe here. And created mine!

Buffalo Almonds

Ingredients

• 2 cups almonds
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (spicy)
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (tapatio)
• 1½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic power
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

• Mix all your ingredients together. Stir them up really well.
• Pour them into a slow cooker.
• Turn on low, uncovered for about 1½ to 2 hours. Slow cookers all cook differently so keep an eye they don’t burn. Mine started to stick at the 2 hour mark.
• Make sure you check them and mix them up every 30 minutes.
• Transfer to a  cookie sheet with silpat to cool.
• Serve with a big old “I’m on Fire” grin!

Final verdict: tastes pretty good! Nice kick, and tasty!!
