How to Make Sweet Hot Glazed Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and a 10x12 inch piece of foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sugar, butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Add nuts to the bowl and toss gently until completely and evenly coated with the honey mixture.
  4. Spread the nut mixture in an even layer in the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan every 5-7 minutes to ensure even browning and prevent sticking. Nuts are done when golden brown and fragrant.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately scrape the hot nuts onto the prepared piece of foil. Let cool for about 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set slightly.
  7. Break the cooled nuts apart. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months in an airtight container or freezer bag. Makes a fantastic holiday gift!
