This recipe comes by way of Sheila Hebenstreit, agronomist, soybean grower and member of the Iowa Soybean Promotion Board. Sheila loves to cook and incorporates soy into her recipes whenever she can. Due to the honey, these sweet nut clusters are a bit sticky. As a result, they’re best stored in the refrigerator. Sheila uses them in trail mix with dried cranberries, raisins, chocolate covered soynuts, and mixed nuts. They’re also great in salads with some feta or bleu cheese.
Ingredients 1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups soynuts (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup turbinado sugar
