No. 47 – Spicy Peanut Pie

Start past times making a elementary syrup amongst carbohydrate too water.  Bring the mixture to a boil too gear upwards until it starts to thicken too all the carbohydrate is dissolved.

Don’t overcook the syrup – take away it when it starts to thicken.

Mix together the tabular array salt too cayenne pepper.  Yes y'all read that correct – cayenne pepper is the spicy business office of Spicy Peanut Pie.

Remove the syrup from the oestrus too apace stir inwards the tabular array salt mixture.

Quickly toss the roasted peanuts inwards the elementary syrup too spread them inwards a unmarried layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake the peanuts inwards a 350 marking oven for most 10 minutes, or until fairly dry.

Remove the peanuts from the parchment newspaper too transfer them to a build clean plate to cool.

Once cooled, chop the peanuts too laid aside.  Gather all the other ingredients.  You volition take a pre-baked unmarried pie crust, molasses or bark corn syrup, eggs, chocolate-brown sugar, chocolate chips, melted butter, vanilla, flour too bourbon (optional).

Whisk the eggs until blended.

Whisk inwards the chocolate-brown carbohydrate too molasses until mixed.

Add the butter, bourbon too vanilla too whisk until mixture is smooth.  Fold inwards the peanuts.

Sprinkle 1/2 the chocolate chips inwards the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.  Pour the filling on piece of occupation past times too sprinkle amongst the remaining chocolate chips.  Bake at 350 degrees until the edges puff upwards too the pump is fairly theatre but even thence a footling wiggly when nudged.  This should arrive at got most 35 – xl minutes.

Remove the pie from the oven too cool to room temperature.  Serve too enjoy!

Refrigerate leftovers.
