For this recipe, sugar Spanish peanuts are coated in hardened sugar and great for snacking! For an added kick, you can add cayenne pepper to the peanuts while they cook. Peanuts will be very hot, so do not handle them with bare hands!

Ginger-Spiced Rhubarb Crisp
A very tart dessert with a delicious topping that goes well with whipped cream on top.
Saltine Cracker Pie Crust
Who says you need to stick with graham crackers for a delicious pie crust? I prefer the sweet and salty concoctions which makes this pie crust ideal.
Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breast
I almost never order a nut-crusted entrée in a restaurant, as it often features a sugary glaze or an overly sweet nut, like pecan or macadamia. That's not an issue with this walnut chicken. Buttery, subtly bitter walnuts coat the chicken, attached with a savory "nut glue" made with a garlic and mustard base. This protective layer of deliciousness makes boneless, skinless chicken breast taste like it was just carved off a freshly roasted chicken.
