Ingredients
- 2 cups peanuts, raw and unsalted
- 1 cup water
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp salt, or sugar
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, except the peanuts, into a skillet over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, just until sugar has melted.
- Add the nuts and simmer for roughly 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by ¾ and has turned amber in color.
- Reduce heat to low, then shuffle the pan away and back to the heat, constantly stirring, to avoid burning the peanuts.
- Once the sugar has completely melted, pour the mixture onto a silicone mat and allow it to cool down completely. You will see that the candied sugar clings to the peanuts, which is a good sign.
- Serve and enjoy snacking on these Honey-Roasted Peanuts once cool!
