Vissotzky Roasted Peanuts

Why buy the "little peanut man" peanuts when you can roast your own,

and flavor them to your own liking?

I'm just sayin'!

Nothing against little peanut characters, mind you!

I wouldn't want them to rise up against me!

Just be sure to note that you are to leave the peanuts in an UNLIGHTED oven...

maybe they are afraid of the light? 

Caramel Nut Popcorn Crunch a la Parker Vissotzky

Perhaps it's because this sounds so good to make for my son and his friends

for their Spring Break road trip...or perhaps because it has just been a totally "nutty" day

 (sorry...couldn't resist!)...

I chose this recipe form the box to feature on today's blog post. 

Who cares about caloric count?

They are college kids, right?

RIGHT! 

Really, I'll only try a little bit. 

...or maybe a handful.

Or maybe I should just make two batches! 

RIGHT!
