Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Add the honey, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.

Step 5

Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to make sure they are distributed evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are golden brown and aromatic. Be careful not to let them burn.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely. The coating will harden as it cools.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds while the nuts are still warm for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve them straight away. Enjoy your 'Something Nutty' snack!
