Honey Roasted Peanuts

I decided to try to make my own honey roasted peanuts this weekend.  I don't eat peanuts very often, but when I do, I don't like to eat them plain.  This added just enough sweetness to make a nice snack.  You will find that this recipe adds a little salt to the mix, which gives them a sweet and salty taste.  You can leave out the salt if you prefer.

2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 to 2 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt


Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.   In a saucepan, combine butter, honey, vanilla, and 1 tsp. salt;  heat over medium low heat, stirring well.  Stir in peanuts, then pour them out into a single layer in the baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes; After the 1st 5 minutes check them & stir every few minutes until peanuts are golden brown.

Remove from oven, stir to break up clumps, and let cool slightly.  Sprinkle on remaining salt and sugar and toss to coat.  Cool completely and break peanuts apart if necessary.
