Boiling Peanuts AKA Hoppers

There is a first time for everything...

Boiling your own "hoppers" is super easy and quite fun! All you need is

-crockpot
-seasonings
-raw peanuts
-electricity
-liquid to cover the hoppers

Q. Where do you find raw peanuts?
A. Farmers Market



Q. What is a good amount for a normal size crockopot?
A. 2 pounds

Here are the ingredients we used:





We used Jockamo IPA for our broth. Other non-conventional additions included truffle salt and hot sauce.



Cooking time: I recommend cooking the peanuts in the crockpot on high for 24 hours. Let those nuts soak in the flavor.



As you can see, this is a really fun process in which you can "set it & forget it."

These hoppers are perfect for game-day snacking and will stay good for up to two weeks if you keep the nuts in the fridge.
