  4. Roast the peanuts in the oven, at 350°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes (but do check up on them often, so they won't burn!)

  5. Now, let the peanuts cool until they reach room temperature (this should take about half an hour).
  6. Place the peanuts in a blender and add the teaspoon of vegetable oil, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar and a few drops of honey (you can omit the honey & sugar if you're unsure you'll like the result)

  7. Turn the blender on and mix for about 20-30 seconds at a time, then let the blender rest (this is to avoid 'roasting, the blender's engine, if you have a small one). After about 2-3 minutes of blending, your mixture will look crunchy
