I like the sound of this one. My kids like peanuts -- I wonder if I could get them to eat this. Lately they are so picky.

this sounds good, but is it spicy? i don't like food that pack a lot of "heat" to them...

I didn't find it overly spicy, but I'm from south Louisiana so I may not be the best judge of spiciness-we eat everything spicy!

If I were you I would add the hot sauce in very small increments, tasting along the way until it's just seasoned enough for you but not too hot.

I haven't been able to find the particular hot sauce they use except on the manufacturer's website. I plan to just use Tabasco or something similar.
