Ingredients
1/4
cup
sugar
2
tablespoons
melted butter
2
tablespoons
corn syrup
I used dark
2
teaspoons
cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon
nutmeg
1/4
teaspoon
salt
2
cups
unsalted
dry-roasted peanuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients except the peanuts. Add the peanuts and toss to coat.
Dump the mixture out onto the baking sheet and spread it into a single layer as much as possible.
Bake for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Once the peanuts are golden brown and the mixture is bubbling, remove them from the oven.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely and then transfer them to an airtight container, breaking the larger clumps into smaller pieces if you desire.
