Best in Show: Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts

Yield: 1 pound

1 pound mixed nuts (raw or dry-roasted), mix of peanuts, almonds, cashews, and/or walnuts

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons butter or oil

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

If using raw nuts, preheat oven to 350* and bake, spread out in a baking pan, for about 10-12 minutes. Shake pan once or twice. Allow to cool. Pour into mixing bowl.

Heat honey, water, and butter (or microwave until melted). Stir honey-butter in with nuts until nuts are completely coated and liquid is almost all absorbed.

Mix sugar, salt & cinnamon together. Toss nuts with sugar mix.

Spread nuts back onto the baking pan and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Let cool completely.
