Honey
Peanut Snack
Peanuts, pretzels, and cereal glazed with a honey peanut butter sauce makes a delicious after school snack. Usually a lighter color honey will indicate a
milder flavor, while darker honey is customarily more robust and contains more
minerals. Texture can also vary from thin to heavy. Ask an adult to stir snack mix half way
through baking time. Keep the head cook
happy by always cleaning up after you cook.
