Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup dry roasted salted peanuts
  • 1 3/4 cups crispy flake cereal like Special K

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the honey and butter together until combined.
  • Bring to a light boil and let simmer for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Nutella and salt until smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine peanuts and cereal.
  • Pour the warm Nutella mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the salt—it really balances the sweetness.
  • Try almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead of Nutella.
  • Add crushed pretzels for extra crunch and saltiness.
  • Great for batch-making and freezing ahead of time.
