Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting half of the butter with olive oil or using a flavored butter. If you prefer a spicier kick, mix in some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the butter mixture. You can also replace salted peanuts with mixed nuts or sunflower seeds for a different texture. Make this dish ahead of time and enjoy it with American recipes or as a snack during game day.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it fresh for longer, consider refrigerating it, although this may alter the texture slightly.
