Honey Roasted Nuts

From the Kitchen of: Cookin' with Kevin

When adding powdered sugar, get the sifter out and sift the sugar first. The sugar will have a fine consistency and mix with the peanuts better. While you are mixing the nuts with the powdered sugar, try to break up some of the larger chunks without crumbling the nuts. Because the powdered sugar acts like a desiccant, absorbing some of the moisture and cohesion, you will find the nuts starting to dry and not stick together as severely as they did when you began. Continue adding and mixing in the powdered sugar. If you like sweeter peanuts then add some more. If you want less, that's fine too. But what you do want is enough powdered sugar to keep the peanuts from sticking entirely together. A few will always stick together.
