Sweet & Spicy Peanuts

In a gilded time of my life, I made this recipe with deluxe mixed nuts in a skillet.  You know, the kind of fancy nut mix with walnuts, pecans, cashews, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and NO peanuts. 

For years, I served sweet and spicy deluxe nuts for New Year's Eve with other fancy snacks.  The nuts were always devoured.

I'm no peanut snob.  I love peanuts.  So why didn't I zhuzh up peanuts with sugar and spice?  Not sure.

But I bought some unremarkable cocktail peanuts and wondered if reviving them with my sugar and spice recipe was possible in a microwave.

It's possible.  It's quick.  It's delicious.  Instead of throwing out some lackluster nuts you've spent money on, transform them with this simple recipe.
