Chili Roasted Peanuts With Dried Cherries

---

I love this recipe for the holiday. it's a bit different than a lot of spiced nuts--just because it's also got the sweetness of the cherries to balance it out.

Steps

---

Melt the butter in a small sauce pan.

---

Coat the raw peanuts with the melted butter.

---

Mix together all remaining ingredients.

---

Toast the peanuts in a 300-325f oven for about 10 minutes shaking the pan occasionally.

---

Transfer the peanuts to a large bowl and toss to coat with the mixed dry ingredients.

---

Mix in cherries until uniformly blended.

---

Cover and store at room temperature.
