Barbecued Peanuts
What?! You didn’t know finger food season follows cookie season?! Have you looked around bloggy-land lately?! Between New Years’ Eve party food and Super Bowl food, I’m pretty sure there is a finger food season. I’m just sayin’.
The great thing about finger food season is, you can eat little bits of lots of different foods and call it a meal! I don’t know about y’all, but I love finger food – wings, chips and dips, muddy buddies, veggie trays, smokies wrapped in bacon, popcorn ….. seriously, what’s not to love?! These Barbecued Peanuts will make a great addition to your New Years’ parties, your Super Bowl parties … and they’re great anytime snacks – you don’t even have to have an excuse or a party!
On a side note – you’ll have to check out my Facebook status regarding these Barbecued Peanuts – ahem, gotta love boys! 😉
