I followed advice from earlier reviews--reducing sugars, would add a little more hot sauce. I founds he results too sticky --definitely not finger food that way...then it hit me that treating it like caramel corn might take care of the stickiness. Yes! It worked: spread out on parchment paper on a cookie sheet, oven @ 275 F. For 30 mins, stirring once or twice. Very popular at my TGIF gathering!

I will make these again but I'll cut the sugar and increase the hot spices.

Did not care for these, although the parchment paper suggestion worked very well. Made them for a superbowl party, but will probably just throw them away. :(

The previous user did not even follow the recipe and then gave it a bad review. This recipe is delicious and SO easy! There is also no "cumin" taste to it with using the chili powder. I used parchment paper to cool it on instead of wax paper, and no problems with pulling the peanuts off of it. I would definitely make this again.

Sorry I wasted the peanuts for this. First of all, there is not enough hot sauce for any heat at all. Can't even tell it was added at all. I left out the chili powder only because I don't like the taste of cumin (which is the predominant flavor of chili powder). And lastly, DO NOT SPREAD THEM ON WAXED PAPER TO COOL as the directions state, as the peanuts will stick to the paper. I had to stand there and peel them off of the paper for 20 minutes, and ended up throwing away about 1/2 cup because they were so stuck. I would suggest spraying a large cookie sheet with nonstick spray and spread them out on that instead. If I were to make these again, I would at least double the hot sauce and cut back on the sugars, as the sticky sauce was just too much goop.
