Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, butter, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir frequently until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl and pour the honey-butter mixture over them. Toss the nuts until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring them halfway through, until they are golden and fragrant.
Remove the nuts from the oven and immediately sprinkle the granulated sugar over them. Toss gently to coat as they cool on the baking sheet.
Allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to two weeks at room temperature.
