Prepare the Cereal Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal, roasted peanuts, raisins, and chopped dates. Gently toss these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed. This mixture forms the base of your Double Peanut Cereal Nuggets, providing both flavor and texture. -
Heat the Honey:
In a small saucepan, place the honey over medium heat. Allow it to cook gently until it becomes foamy, stirring occasionally. This step is crucial as it helps to enhance the flavor of the honey and makes it easier to mix with the other ingredients. -
Mix in Peanut Butter and Vanilla:
Once the honey reaches a foamy state, promptly remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients are completely smooth and well combined. This rich, creamy mixture will coat the cereal mixture beautifully. -
Combine with the Cereal Mixture:
Carefully pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the cereal mixture in the bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to toss everything together, ensuring that every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the delicious mixture. This is where the magic happens, as the flavors meld together. -
Cool the Nuggets:
After mixing, transfer the coated cereal mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it out evenly to allow for even cooling. Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature, which will help it to firm up and hold its shape. -
Store Properly:
Once cooled, break the mixture into bite-sized nuggets or clusters. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. These Double Peanut Cereal Nuggets can be enjoyed as a quick snack at home or on the go!
