Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¾ cup cocktail peanuts
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon 5-spice powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set it aside for now.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the honey, peanuts, red pepper flakes, and 5-spice powder.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until peanuts are brown and glazed (about 5 minutes). Keep the heat no higher than medium and watch very carefully as the honey and nuts will burn easily.
- Spread the peanuts on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Allow to cool completely; transfer to a paper-towel lined plate and blot with additional paper towel to remove excess oil.

Notes
- The cooled nuts can sit at room temperature or in the fridge for about a week.
- May be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw at room temp before serving.
