This delicious nut recipe is perfect for a summer get together. Almonds and cashews (or any nut mix preference) are mixed in a bowl. Then honey is heated in the microwave until bubbly. Next cinnamon, salt and cayenne pepper are added to the honey. The honey is poured over the nuts and then the nuts are baked until golden brown. Immediately after removing from the oven, brown sugar is sprinkled on top of the nuts. After cooling, the nuts are broken up and ready to serve.
