Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 20 seconds until the butter is melted, then stir the mixture well to combine.
Step 2
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl along with the ground cinnamon and salt. Stir thoroughly to coat the nuts evenly in the sweet mixture.
Step 3
Place the bowl back in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Remove the bowl carefully (it will be hot), stir the nuts, and repeat this process in 30-second increments for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and adheres to the nuts.
Step 4
Once done, carefully spread the coated nuts onto a piece of parchment paper or a baking sheet in a single layer. Let them cool completely, about 15-20 minutes, until they harden and become crunchy.
Step 5
Transfer the cooled nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
