Ingredients

  • 4 - 5 cups kamut puffs I use one from Azure Standard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 225°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a saucepan, melt together honey, salt, butter, brown sugar and salt. Stir just until smooth and lightly bubbly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • Pour over the kamut puffs and gently fold until evenly coated.
  • Spread onto baking sheet in an even layer. (I line with parchment)paper)
  • Bake 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so they dry evenly.
  • Cool completely before storing — they crisp up more as they cool.
