Did you ever put brown sugar (when no one was looking ;) ) on hot buttered toast when you were a child?
Terribly unhealthy in thought today, but it was an afterschool treat my brother and I adored.

With the added bonus of salty peanuts!
Shortbread
 The shortbread-type base is made and baked first.

we bake together every Monday.
 While the base is cooking, you melt the brown sugar and butter together.

 Then you add the chopped salted peanuts to the caramel mixture.
