The Perfect Blend of Sweet and Salty
Ingredients:
1 pound raw peanuts
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey together over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until well combined.
