Ingredients
Scale
For the Peanuts
- 2 cups salted peanuts (preferably unsalted or lightly salted for flavor balance)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (unsalted recommended)
For the Sweet Spice Blend
- 1/4 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Toss Peanuts with Butter: In a large bowl, combine the peanuts with the melted butter, ensuring every peanut is evenly coated with the buttery richness.
- Add Sweet Spice Blend: Sprinkle the erythritol, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg mixture over the butter-coated peanuts, then toss thoroughly to distribute the sweet spices evenly.
- Bake the Peanuts: Spread the coated peanuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for even roasting. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes to achieve a crunchy, toffee-like texture.
- Cool and Separate: Once baked, allow the peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. After cooling, break apart any clumped peanuts to ensure a perfect snack-ready texture.
Notes
- Optional: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.
- Store the toffee peanuts in an airtight container to maintain crispness and freshness.
- Choosing unsalted or lightly salted peanuts helps control the overall saltiness of the snack.
