Barb,

I don't know how to sweeten the peanuts, but when mixed with candy corn, they make a treat that tastes just like a Pay Day candy bar.

Another great sweet peanut mixer is Honey Graham cereal...a little sweet, a little salty. Dry roasted are also good added to caramel corn.

Now I'm wondering if they could be added to the microwave sweet kettle corn, hmmm. Hope someone else can help.
