Ingredients
- 2 cups peanut raw, unsalted
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350º.
- In a large sauce pan over medium heat, stir together the butter, honey, and salt. Heat until butter is melted and bubbly. Add the peanuts and stir until they are well coated.
- In a 9 X 13 baking dish, add peanuts in an even layer. Place in oven checking every 5 and stirring to prevent burning. Remove peanuts whenever they've evenly browned, about 20 minutes.
- While peanuts are roasting, mix together the chili powder, garlic powder, and sugar.
- When peanuts are done, remove from oven and transfer to a metal mixing bowl. Slowly add the sugar mixture, a little bit at a time, mixing well each time. Continue to add sugar until well coated to your liking (all the mixture may not be necessary).
- Continue mixing as peanuts cool to prevent sticking.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Check peanuts frequently during roasting to avoid burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Store finished peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
- If using salted butter, omit added salt from the recipe.
- Brown sugar can be substituted for white sugar to add a molasses note.
- Spices like cinnamon can replace chili and garlic powder for a sweeter flavor.
