Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 pound raw peanuts, or roasted unsalted
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. Place the butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture until the butter is melted, about 45 seconds, stirring halfway through. Once melted, stir until the liquid is smooth.
  • Add the peanuts to the honey mixture and stir until they're all evenly coated.
  • Pour the peanuts out onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them into an even layer.
  • Bake the peanuts for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning. The peanuts at the edges will brown faster, so it's important to stir regularly to get an even roasting.
  • Once the peanuts are golden brown, remove them from the oven and stir again to distribute the honey that has dripped onto the baking sheet.
  • Let the peanuts rest for a minute or two. Sprinkle the granulated sugar and the remaining teaspoon of salt on top and stir again. The sugar and salt will add flavor and texture to the peanuts.
  • As they continue to cool at room temperature, stir occasionally to break up any big clumps. Enjoy warm or cold!
