Ingredients

• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Cashews
• 1 cup Pecans
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 sheet Parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, and pecans. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Pour the honey mixture over the nuts in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to evenly coat all the nuts with the caramel mixture.

Step 6

Spread the coated nuts in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if using.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even coating. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, break the nut mixture into clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy your Nutty Delights as a snack or share them as a delicious homemade gift!
