Thank you so much Karen for requesting this recipe!! They turned out really yummy and were the perfect little snack! She sent me this recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook and, after seeing all the ingredients, knew I’d love this. They remind me of honey roasted peanuts except with a kick of cayenne pepper and chili powder for spice. You can cook them for 10 to 20 minutes if you want them a bit mushy inside or around 35 minutes like I did if you like them crunchy! Perfect to throw in a dish for an upcoming party or when you have company over and you save a ton of calories from traditional salty peanuts! Feel free to try and type of seasoning or spice you like, you really can’t go wrong. Hope you enjoy them!
