Those are just Spanish peanuts. If you'd read his post you'd see
that he was speaking of something completely different.

Excuse me?

Why? Did you fart?

Beer nuts are (at least originally) Spanish peanuts - skin on -
with a very light sweet/salty glaze. They are not "candy coated".

Now go wipe yourself before you leave skid marks.

Right. Spanish peanuts, modified heavily. Therefor, if someone wanted
Spanish peanuts for an ice cream sundae, they would be wrong to buy the
product labeled "Beer Nuts".

Sqwertz with potty - mouthed diatribes like that you'll sooner than later
probably have to take a powder...your maledictions show a *distinct* lack of

Indeed!

Beer Nuts have this light candy coating......

Well, yet again I've learnt something new from RFC. You can buy something
called "beer nuts" here (NSW, Australia), but they don't have any sort of
coating on them. They're just roasted, salted peanuts still in their red
skins.

Rhonda, I've obviously never had the beer nuts sold in Australia, but the
ones sold here in the US have more of a "wash" that is slightly salty,
slightly sweet. It's not really a coating, certainly not really visible,
and the red skin is still on the nut. You might want to check the
ingredient list.

A candy coated beer nut sounds odd to me <g> as I wouldn't usually think
of something sweet as going with beer. Or is the candy coating not very
sweet? Are they actually meant to be eaten with beer?

As to the French Burnt Peanuts, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to eat
these along with beer or other alcoholic drinks, although perhaps some
folks do.

This is the funniest remark. Why? Because "Excuse me?" can be used in such
a derogatory way when accompanied by a 'look.'

I'm never heard of a good comeback, and would like to use this one; couldn't
of course; but I'll be thinking of it when someone says it to me AGAIN!

I've been spending a lot of time looking for the perfect spiced peanuts
recipe. This is the latest recipe I tried:

http://www.hugs.org/Beer_Snack_Nuts.shtml

Now, I think I remember my dad bringing BEER NUTS home from the bar.
What I remember is peanuts with a lumpy candy shell, a red candy coating
with, presumably, the lumps caused by the coarse salt.

All the so-called clone recipes call for the sugar/peanuts/water mixed
to be cooked until dry. I did that, following the recipe above. But it
wasn't what I remember. The coating crystallized, like fudge that was
stirred. The result wasn't a crunchy candy coating, but a crystallized
sugary thing. It was good, as far as it went, but not what I was looking
for. Was it because I stirred the mixture too much? Should I have just
left it to cook itself dry, without stirring?

RobtE

Here's how I make beer nuts. I use regular unroasted peanuts
without skins...works fine for me. Using Spanish peanuts with
skins on would be closer to the commercial versions available
here in the US. Neither my homemade nor available commercial
beer nuts have an actual candy coating. I don't think I've
ever seen such a thing. All the beer nuts I've seen have had
a glossy wash of some sort that helps the salt and sugar adhere
to the surface of the nuts. The beaten egg white serves that
purpose in this recipe.

Beer Nuts

1 egg white
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tblsp. water
2 1/2 cups peanuts
salt and granulated sugar for sprinkling

In a bowl, beat egg white, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and water until
frothy. Pour over peanuts and stir until peanuts are well coated.
Spread out evenly on ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle peanuts
with salt and granulated sugar as desired and bake at 300 degrees
for 30 minutes (or until lightly roasted and dry) turning tray
every 10 minutes.

Modified *slightly*. The contents of the can is 99.5% Spanish

I've never looked at an ingredient list, but I'm pretty positive the ones
here don't have anything on them other than salt.There is no sweetness to
them at all. I've always figured beer nuts was just a term used for
peanuts still in the skin.

I'll have a look next time I'm in the supermarket, though.

You would not be able to tell the difference between salted
Spanish peanuts and Beer Nuts on a sundae.

I'll bet you a year of your income that your statement is wrong. The texture
of the two products is completely different. Now, perhaps if you let the
sundae melt, and left the nuts in the goo for a few hours, it would be a
different story.

You must have bumped your head again. The texture of beer nuts vs.
plain ol' roasted Spanish peanuts is exactly the same. You must
be thinking these are some sort of toffee-coated peanuts.

Are you referring to this exact product?
www.beernuts.com (original peanuts)?

If so, you have neurological problems. Perhaps a stroke. Get to the
hospital. The outer texture cannot be the same as Spanish peanuts, the
outside of which is simply the red skins. Beer Nuts, the specific product,
have a flavored coating with a distinctively grainy texture.

As I already stated, it does have a very light glaze on it. That
doesn't change the mouth-feel texture of it.

What was your original argument? Oh, that they're not Spanish
peanuts with a very light glaze on them. Whatever.
