1 tbsp. liquid smoke flavoring
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
dash of Tabasco
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. dry roasted peanuts
3 tbsp. butter
garlic salt

Preheat the oven to 250°F. In a saucepan, combine the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and water. Bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanuts. Let the peanuts sit in the liquid for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain off the liquid and spread the peanuts in a shallow roasting pan.

Bake for at least 1 hour or until good and dry. (Stir occasionally to help speed up the process.) When the peanuts are thoroughly dry, melt the butter and stir it into the peanuts to coat. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt.

Yield: 3 servings.
