From the kitchen at Nostalgia Farms
This is a simple make-ahead treat, great for snacking, cocktail parties or a great hostess gift. Vellum bags and some ribbon make gift packaging easy.
- 1 pound Virginia or Spanish Peanuts
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Mix all ingredients together and spread on a cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Using two forks stir 2 or 3 times during the cooking process; the second fork is to scrape off the stirring fork. (It’s hot and sticky so be careful.)
Prepare a second cookie sheet by dusting the bottom with a thin layer of sugar. Dump cooked peanuts onto sugared cookie sheet. Using the two forks spread out peanuts into a single layer. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
