#901 - Toffee Peanuts

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/4 cup white sugar
2 TBSP butter (melted)
2 TBSP Karo corn syrup
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

In a large bowl add white sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg--stir until mixed. Add the peanuts--stir and toss to coat. Pour everything on to a greased jellyroll pan (about 15" x 10" x 1" pan)--use a greased spoon to spread it across the whole pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 12 minutes--remove from oven and stir peanuts. Return to oven and bake 12 more minutes or until bubbling and golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely. Break apart if necessary.
