Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Stir together the sugar, chipotle powder, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl; set aside.
- Stir together the butter, honey, and kosher salt in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the peanuts until well coated, then pour out into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until the nuts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking. Once done, scrape the peanuts into a large metal bowl, and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss the peanuts to evenly coat with the spice mixture. Allow the peanuts to cool to room temperature, tossing every few minutes so the nuts do not stick together.

HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS
Make your own! I was surprised not to find this recipe on here - it's very easy and tastes better than store bought canned. I clipped this recipe from some newspaper. If you like really sweet then try sprinkling with sugar. DO NOT USE MARGARINE - THEY WILL BURN OR GET TOO DARK. Photos taken by me on 2/26/06.

"HONEY, I'M PEANUTS ABOUT YOU!" CAKE

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh, raw peanuts for the best flavor and texture.
- Soak the peanuts in water for at least 30 minutes before roasting. This will help them to roast evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Roast the peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Stir the peanuts frequently while roasting. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Remove the peanuts from the oven when they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become dry and brittle.
- Let the peanuts cool completely before coating them in honey. This will help the honey to adhere better.
- Use a thick, flavorful honey for the best results. Clover honey or buckwheat honey are both good choices.
- Coat the peanuts in honey in a single layer. This will help to ensure that each peanut is evenly coated.
- Let the honey-coated peanuts cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Honey peanuts are a delicious and addictive snack that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, salty, or spicy, there is a honey peanut recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a tasty snack, give honey peanuts a try. You won't be disappointed.
