Alex'S Hot And Sweet Nuts

• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 dried ancho or chipotle peppers, sliced into fine flakes with a food processor or knife
• 2 Tbs sugar
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 3 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews, almonds)

1. Preheat oven to 275
2. Put all ingredients (except the nuts) into a microwaveable bowl
3. Heat for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is the consistency of pancake syrup
4. Stir mixture
5. Gently fold in nuts until thoroughly coated
6. Spread nuts evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a Silpat liner (parchment paper will do)
7. Bake for a total of 25 minutes, turning nuts and shifting pan every 8 minutes
8. Watch closely during the last few minutes of baking to avoid burning
9. Let cool completely THEN break and store (or else you'll have a giant mound of nut brittle)
