Macadamia Free Honey Roasted Peanuts
Warm, glossy, and impossible to stop eating, these honey roasted peanuts hit every note — sweet, salty, and just a little spicy if you lean into the cayenne. The coating comes together in minutes on the stovetop with honey, butter, and sugar before the peanuts go into the oven to turn deep golden and irresistibly crunchy. Roasting at a moderate 325°F gives the glaze time to set without burning, though keeping a close eye in those final few minutes makes all the difference between perfect and overdone. Once they cool on the rack, the coating hardens into a satisfying crackle that makes every handful feel like a treat. These are completely free of macadamia nuts and any of the cross-contamination concerns that can come with store-bought mixed nut blends or flavored snack mixes. Make a batch for a party, a road trip, or just to have something genuinely snackable on the counter — they disappear fast.
