This is the best Nuts and Bolts ever! I’ve made it for years and haven’t tasted any better recipe. I’ve had lots of compliments from friends and is a must at Christmas for my family. I do add an additional cup of peanuts.
Thanks for letting us know Brenda 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and yours and best wishes for a healthy & happy 2017!
Best nuts and bolts ever! We also add 6 shakes of Tabasco.
Great tip, thanks!
I forgot to add the Worcestershire sauce and have already roasted them. What can I do to correct it now – it really needs that extra “kick”. Thanks .

You might want to try sprinkling on some spices, such as smoked paprika.
How do I store the nuts and bolts ?
Store in an airtight container to preserve freshness. Happy snacking!

I often find that the spices fall to the bottom of the melted butter. Any suggestions?
Hi Colleen, the solution is to keep stirring gently until the spices are evenly distributed. Enjoy!
Our nuts and bolts seems a bit greasy. Should we have baked it longer.? Will this make it too soggy when we store it? Can we re- bake for longer?
Hi Sharon, Yes, you can try re-baking the mixture a little longer until the mixture is dryer and crisp. Continue to stir occasionally as it re-bakes. Enjoy!
