4. Mix Thoroughly: Gently toss the nuts until they are well coated with the margarine (or butter) and chili mix. Every nut should be infused with delicious flavor!

5. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW heat. Let the nuts cook for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. This slow roasting process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a mouthwatering snack.

6. Turn Up the Heat: After the initial cooking time, switch the slow cooker to HIGH heat. Remove the lid to allow any excess moisture to evaporate, and let the nuts cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. This step adds a delightful crunch to the nuts while intensifying the flavor.

7. Serve Warm: Once the nuts are perfectly roasted and infused with chili goodness, it’s time to serve them up! Transfer them to a serving bowl or individual containers for easy snacking. Remember, these nuts are best enjoyed warm, so don’t let them cool down before serving.

8. Enjoy: Grab a handful of these addictive chili nuts and savor the spicy, savory goodness. They’re the ultimate snack for game days, parties, or anytime you’re craving a flavorful treat!
