Ingredients
Mixed Nuts:
- 2 cups mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, pecans, and peanuts)
Spiced Honey Mixture:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional pinch of black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt butter and honey: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with honey and brown sugar, stirring until smooth.
- Add spices: Remove from heat and stir in the smoked paprika, cayenne, chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and optional black or red pepper for extra spice.
- Coat nuts: Place the nuts in a large bowl and pour the spiced honey mixture over them. Toss until all the nuts are evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
- Cool and serve: Let cool completely before serving—the coating will harden as they cool.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- These make a magical party snack or edible gift.
- Adjust the spice level to suit your taste (or your dragon’s mood).
