    Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't! This was one of those "I gotta have me some nuts" days and I only had some plain non-salted peanuts in the pantry. Not that they aren't OK but I'd much rather have a salty, sweet roasted nut than just a plain one. Are ya with me?

    So I decided that making a candied variety, on the order of my Cinnamon Sugar Pecans, seemed like a good place to start. I also checked around on the internet and found what looked like a tasty version of a candied nut from Cooks with Cocktails. They used maple syrup as their sweetener, which is always high on my list for a more natural sweetening agent, and pecans with cayenne but I was sticking with my peanuts with a dash of cinnamon.

    They are simple to make too, only 5 ingredients, and a prep/bake time of about 20 minutes, you'll be munching in no time!

    First, melt the butter and sugar together in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add in the maple syrup, salt and cinnamon then add to the peanuts.
