What are Honey Roasted Peanuts?
Honey roasted peanuts are a type of dry roasted peanut. Dry roasted peanuts are considered a cocktail peanut and are roasted for up to an hour in moderately hot revolving commercial ovens. Since they are roasted and salted, all types of dry roasted peanuts are usually more expensive than other types of peanuts, but they are also more flavorful as well as crunchy. You can also make them at home. Commercially-made honey roasted peanuts vary in their ingredients. Some honey roasted peanuts sold in stores do contain honey, but many types use mostly sugar and/or corn syrup. There may be very little honey in the roasted peanuts, so it is a good idea to read the ingredients on the package to see what sweeteners are included and in what order they’re listed. Honey roasted peanuts can be eaten on their own as a snack or added to other foods.
