I was looking for a basic honey roasted peanuts recipe and I used this one minus the spices in the sugar. And they were wonderful! Thanks for the recipe
These nuts are incredible! I followed the instructions exactly which is rare for me and they turned out perfect. I did use a jar of unsalted roasted peanuts so mine were basically double-roasted. I was worried about the outcome--thinking they might taste burned--but they are wonderful. I don't think you can go wrong here!
These are fantastic! They give you the little spicy kick just at the end. I served them for a neighborhood BBQ and they were gobbled up. I even had a couple people ask me for the recipe. I made another batch a couple days later and I keep them in my cupboard for my family. If you don't like extra "zing!" don't add extra spice. I made this exactly as written and I like things "medium" and I think they are perfect.
#1 - DO NOT BE A DOPE like me and try to make this recipe with peanuts AND cashews. Cashews will burn very quickly at 350. Save yourself some money and just go with the peanuts. #2 - The reason I only gave it 4 stars was because it's really sweeter than it is spicy. Maybe it's just my taste but I thought other reviews were ridiculous when they said to double the spices but they were right.
LOVED these! Sweet with a nice spiciness. Incredibly easy to make. Everyone else loved them too! Thanks for sharing this recipe. This is a keeper!
It is a very good tasting mix however when I sprinkled the dry mix into the peanuts in the bowl it all clumped up. So I have chunks of seasoning and some nuts with very little seasoning. Next time I would sprinkle the dry mix onto the peanuts in the pan before pouring them into the bowl.
We ve made these many times for friends and family. Made as directed they are a medium spicy level. You can adjust the chipotle to your taste. Everyone asks for more!
These are delicious I didn t have chipotle chili powder so I just used all chili powder and it still turned out great although next time I would like to use the chipotle. All the sugar melts so I did end up sprinkling 2 more tablespoons of sugar over the nuts once they had cooled for 10-15min.
Pretty difficult to find chipotle powder. I finally found flakes in a grinder top bottle. My wrists are tired from the grinding. I used 2 teaspoons of the stuff and upped the chili and garlic powders from 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon. I used 1/2 salt skinless roasted peanuts from Trader Joe's. I did not read the instructions correctly and put the salt in the dry mixture instead of the butter/ honey mixture. These turned out great. Not very spicy. So if you like spicy I would add a sprinkle of cayenne. I don't really care for peanuts but these were hard to resist. Keeper recipe!
burned. would not make again
