Tree Nut Free Honey Roasted Peanuts

Warm, glossy, and impossible to stop snacking on, these honey roasted peanuts hit every note — sweet, salty, and just a little smoky if you go for the cayenne. The coating comes together in minutes on the stovetop with honey, butter, and sugar before the peanuts get a slow roast in the oven until deeply golden and caramelized. Store-bought roasted nuts can be a real gamble when you're avoiding tree nuts, since shared facilities and mixed variety bags make cross-contact a genuine concern. Making them yourself means you control every single ingredient, and this recipe keeps things beautifully simple. The hardest part is honestly waiting for them to cool so the coating can harden into that satisfying, crunchy shell. Break apart the clusters, pour them into a bowl, and watch them disappear at any gathering.
