In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together milk, honey, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and whisk in vanilla.
Pour mixture into a medium bowl, and cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap onto surface of custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until thickened and cold, about 2 hours. Sprinkle servings with crushed crackers and chopped peanuts. Garnish with mint, if desired.
