Tips:
- Use fresh peanuts: Fresh peanuts have a better flavor and texture than stale peanuts. Look for peanuts that are plump and have a light brown color.
- Roast the peanuts before using: Roasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy. You can roast peanuts in the oven or in a skillet.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to use any spices that you like. Some other good options include garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or cumin.
- Don't overcook the peanuts: Overcooked peanuts will be tough and chewy. Cook the peanuts just until they are golden brown.
- Let the peanuts cool completely before serving: This will help the spices to adhere to the peanuts.

Sweet and spicy peanuts are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just a quick snack at home.
