Ingredients
- 2 cups raw unsalted peanuts
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 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!

- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Butter: If all you have is salted butter, no problem, just omit the salt in the recipe.
- Sugar: A brown sugar will add a richer molasses flavor.
- Garlic and Cayenne: These add a little savory touch to the peanuts. If you want something on the sweeter side, you could substitute cinnamon!
