Who doesn’t love candied nuts?

Nuts coated in sugar and butter really aren’t the most ‘healthy’ of snacks, but they certainly are one of my favorite things to gift at the holidays.

Candied nuts can be made with pecans, walnuts or even peanuts – they come together quite easily. Some recipes require you to bake them in the oven – but other recipes (like this, below) don’t require any oven time at all. 

Bourbon Candied Peanuts

I much prefer avoiding the oven, simply because I have a tendency to forget the nuts are in there, and they can overcook so easily. This recipe, however, is so much easier – start with the basic butter, sugars, and cinnamon, and add in your favorite variety of Bourbon.

Mix the first five ingredients, then stir in your peanuts. Sauté on low/medium for 7-10 minutes, taking care not to over-cook. Then spread your peanuts out on a cookie sheet laid with parchment (or Silpat baking mat)- separate the peanuts with a fork as best as you can.

Allow the Bourbon Candied Peanuts to cool before storing in a tightly covered container.

Store and Gift

Allow the peanuts to cool, then store in a tightly covered container at room temperature. 

These Bourbon Candied Peanuts make a wonderful gift idea for family and friends!  Divide the Candied Peanuts into these adorable sacks and tie with ribbon for a fun, and easy way to gift your family and friends:
