03 Mar The best Nuts and Bolts Recipe

iWhen I shared that I was making up a big batch of nuts and bolts for Christmas, a lot of you asked for the recipe, so here it is! It might be a little late, but you can make them at any time of the year. This recipe seems to be a bit different from the rest of the ones you can find online because it requires you to bake the nuts and bolts. 

This recipe was given to me by a family member and has been a family recipe for years. Now, it does make a huge batch, but they store well, so it’s worth baking the whole batch and storing them in an airtight container or gifting some to family and friends. 

Ingredients 

• 805 gram box of Nutra-Grain (large box)
• 2 packets of salted peanuts up to 750grams (I used Nobby’s Nuts)
• 2 cups peanut oil (woolies brand)
• 3 packets French onion soup mix (Woolies brand)
• 6 teaspoons curry powder

Directions

1. In a large bowl combine Nutri-Grain and nuts and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, combine soup mix, curry powder and oil.
3. Mix the wet mix in with the Nutri-Grain and mix well.
4. Spread out over 2 large trays and bake for 30 minutes at 150 degrees, mixing every 10 minutes.
5. Make sure they don’t burn! They will store for months in an air-tight container.
