Honey Roasted Peanut Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 ̊ F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, honey, 3 tablespoons water, the vanilla and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins simmering, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sugar mixture dries out and clings to the nuts, 2 to 4 more minutes. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
• Bake the nuts until the sugar coating begins melting, about 10 minutes. Stir, then continue baking until the nuts are golden brown and glazed in spots, 2 to 4 more minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the nuts to distribute the caramel. Let cool on the baking sheet. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a piece of parchment paper, leaving 1 inch of paper hanging over each side of the dish. This will help with removing the treats later. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
• In a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring continuously, until the marshmallows are melted and the butter is incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and quickly add the cereal and peanuts; stir to combine. Transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly coat a spatula with cooking spray, then use it to spread out the cereal mixture evenly.
• Put the melted chocolate in a plastic sandwich bag (or pastry bag), cut off one corner and drizzle over the top of the cereal treats. Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the cereal treats using the parchment paper and cut into 24 bars.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray. Beat 3/4 cup butter, 2 oz. cream cheese and granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, mixing well after each addition. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.
• Bake 20 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add remaining cream cheese; stir until blended, Add brown sugar and eggs; mix well.
• Pour brown sugar mixture over hot crust; sprinkle with nuts. Reduce oven temperature to 325ºF. Bake 20 min. or until center is set. Cool completely. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter and honey. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted and blended. Remove from heat; stir in oats. Spread into a greased 9-in. square pan; press lightly. Cool to room temperature; cover and chill for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir all cookie base ingredients except peanuts until soft dough forms. Press dough in bottom of pan. Sprinkle evenly with 2 cups peanuts; press lightly into dough. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until light golden brown. Cool 30 minutes.
• In 3-quart saucepan, heat marshmallows and butter over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Stir in peanut butter, milk and peanut butter chips until smooth.
• Immediately pour marshmallow mixture over cookie base; spread evenly. Sprinkle evenly with 2 cups peanuts; press gently into marshmallow mixture. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm. For bars, cut into 10 rows by 6 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 15x10x1 inch pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.) Set aside. In an extra large bowl, combine dry cake mix, 1/3 cup butter, and egg. Beat with an electric beater on low speed for 1 -2 minutes or until mixture is combined. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Cool completely. In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup butter, peanut butter, and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in 2 TBSP whip cream. Stir in the chopped peanuts. Spread mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Place uncut bars in the refrigerator while you prepare the ganache. In small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup whipping cream just to boiling over medium high heat. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Do not stir. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Cool 15 minutes; spread over filling. Refrigerate 1-2 hours or until set. Cut into bars. Makes 48 bars. Store covered in refrigerator. Let bars stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together 1 cup peanuts and 1/2 cup flour until the nuts are coarsely ground. Pulse in remaining flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg, then add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pulse in the egg yolks, vanilla extract and zest. Continue to pulse until the dough is well combined and starts to clump (but doesn't form a ball).
• Working with 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
• Put the egg whites in a shallow bowl, then beat them lightly with a fork until frothy. Put the remaining 2/3 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts in another shallow bowl, and stir in the salted, roasted peanuts.
• Dunk each ball of dough first in egg whites, then in the nuts, rolling to coat the balls well. Place the balls on the baking sheets 2 inches apart. Using your thumb, press an indentation in the center of each round of dough.
• Using a small spoon (an espresso spoon works well), fill the indentations with jam. Bake until the edges of the cookies are just golden, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• Bring the honey, water and oil to boil in a saucepan.
• Add the peanuts to the honey mixture.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
• When the liquid is practically gone, add the sugar and salt and continue stirring on low heat until sugar has turned reddish-brown approximately 5 more minutes. You will recognize the honey roasted peanut look.
• Take off heat and spread in one layer on a cookie sheet or foil until it cools. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place peanuts in a bowl.
• Heat butter and honey together, in microwave or on stove top, stirring well; Toss with peanuts.
• Spread peanuts on a cookie sheet and bake at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes; After the 1st 5 minutes check them & stir every 1 or 2 minutes until peanuts are golden brown - the glaze will thicken and darken.
• Remove, stir while cooling for 5 - 10 minutes until they no longer stick together.
• *Sprinkle with salt (optional) or mix it in with the honey & butter mixture; you can also toss with sugar.
• *I saw these at a Chinese restaurant covered with Powdered Sugar - yummy!
• These taste great while they're warm! (and may leave a little butter on your fingers).
