Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, and pecans. Set aside.
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.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the honey mixture over the nuts in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to evenly coat all the nuts with the caramel mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even coating. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as it cools.
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!
