Spiced Mixed Nuts

Normaone's Note:

I keep spiced nuts on hand most of the time. They are great in salads and they make a nice munchie. They also make a nice gift.

I liked the sort of crunchy glaze these made. The flavor was nice, but I was expected more spiciness. Thank you for sharing your recipe Normaone!

I cut the honey a bix and used the same amount of pre-mixed nuts (no peanuts). The results were a hit and the bowls were clean by the end of the evening.
