Honey Peanuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 ̊ F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, honey, 3 tablespoons water, the vanilla and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins simmering, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sugar mixture dries out and clings to the nuts, 2 to 4 more minutes. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
• Bake the nuts until the sugar coating begins melting, about 10 minutes. Stir, then continue baking until the nuts are golden brown and glazed in spots, 2 to 4 more minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the nuts to distribute the caramel. Let cool on the baking sheet. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place peanuts in a bowl.
• Heat butter and honey together, in microwave or on stove top, stirring well; Toss with peanuts.
• Spread peanuts on a cookie sheet and bake at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes; After the 1st 5 minutes check them & stir every 1 or 2 minutes until peanuts are golden brown - the glaze will thicken and darken.
• Remove, stir while cooling for 5 - 10 minutes until they no longer stick together.
• *Sprinkle with salt (optional) or mix it in with the honey & butter mixture; you can also toss with sugar.
• *I saw these at a Chinese restaurant covered with Powdered Sugar - yummy!
• These taste great while they're warm! (and may leave a little butter on your fingers).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans. (If silicon: place on a metal baking sheet. If metal: line with waxed paper.)
• As the oven preheats, begin to make the cake batter. Dissolve the cocoa into the espresso. Stir the buttermilk into the cocoa mixture and set aside to cool. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 6 minutes, while gradually adding the sugar. (Use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer.) The butter mixture should be light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggs and vanilla to the butter, while continuing to beat. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go, so all the ingredients get incorporated. Fold the flour and cocoa mixtures into the butter mixture with a rubber spatula, alternating from flour to cocoa in the following order: 1/3 flour mixture; 1/2 cocoa mixture; 1/3 flour mixture; 1/2 cocoa mixture; 1/3 flour mixture. Do not overmix!
• Pour half of the finished batter into each of the cake pans and level the tops with the spatula. Bake for 40 minutes in the center of the oven, rotating halfway through. Check with a wooden toothpick for doneness. Cool for at least 15 minutes before inverting onto a baking rack to cool completely.
• Make the buttercream: With an electric mixer beat the peanut butter and butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until spreadable.
• With a serrated knife halve the two layers making 4. Place 1 cake layer top down on the rack and spread 1/3 of the buttercream to the edges of the layer. Top the first cake layer with another and repeat with the buttercream. Continue layering with the remaining layers and buttercream, ending with cake. Refrigerate covered in plastic wrap for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• Remove the cake from the refrigerator and carefully transfer to a wire rack over a sheet pan. (Line the space under the rack with some old newspaper, for easy cleanup.)
• To make the ganache, chop the butter and scatter it into the chocolate pieces in a large bowl. Heat the cream and corn syrup in a saucepan over moderate heat. As soon as the cream mixture begins to boil, pour it over the chocolate mixture and begin stirring vigorously. When the chocolate has melted and is combined thoroughly with the cream, stir in the vanilla. Quickly begin pouring the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to flow down and cover the sides. (You may use a metal frosting spatula to smooth the top and sides.) Pack the chopped peanuts onto the ganache to cover the sides of the cake, leaving the chocolate on top exposed. Store in the refrigerator.
• Serving suggestions: I like to reserve a little of the buttercream and a handful of whole honey roasted peanuts to decorate the top of the cake. Try using a star tip to pipe points of buttercream in a circle, bordering the top of the cake. Then, set peanuts into the buttercream border to form an interesting design.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons honey, 3/4 cup peanuts, 4 sliced scallions and 1/2 teaspoon each red pepper flakes and five-spice powder. Cook, stirring, until glazed, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar and cook 1 minute. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet; season with salt and let cool.

Steps:

• Combine the honey and the water.
• Boil until it reaches the hard crack stage.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Pour into a greased cookie sheet.
• Spread very thinly.
• Let it harden.
• Break into pieces.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• NOTE: If you have unroasted nuts, preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread peanuts onto a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until you can smell them.
• In a food processor, blend peanuts. Scrape down the sides when necessary.
• When the peanuts have broken down and become crumbly, add in honey and salt while still blending.
• The mixture will turn into a ball and eventually even out.
• Slowly add canola oil while still blending. Add more canola oil if you want a creamier texture.
• Pour into a jar, store in a refrigerator and use within one month.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°.
• Coat a baking sheet with melted butter or oil.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the oats, the baking powder, and the salt In a pan, over medium heat, mix together the butter, sugar, peanut butter, and honey until melted.
• Add the contents of the pan to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
• Form teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on baking sheets, allowing room for spreading. Flatten or "Squish" the dough balls lightly with a fork.
• Bake for ten minutes or until golden in color.
• Cool on baking sheet before removing from sheet.
• ---Topping---.
• Stir together the powdered sugar, butter, and water until smooth.
• Dip tops of cookies into the topping.
• Allow topping to set.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix white sugar with salt until blended, and set aside. Stir the honey, brown sugar, and water together in a large pan over medium-low heat until the mixture boils and the sugar crystals have dissolved. Cook the syrup until thickened and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the peanuts, remove from heat, and mix in the butter. Place the peanuts into a deep bowl, sprinkle with white sugar-salt mixture, and shake the dish to coat with sugar mixture and prevent the peanuts from sticking together. Let cool.
