Ingredients

3 cups assorted nuts hazelnuts, almonds, pine, macadamia, pecans, pistachios, walnuts
2 dried chipotle chilies
1/4 cup honey
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or more to taste

Instructions

Spread shelled nuts (except macadamias) in a single layer on a baking pan.
Bake in a 350, stirring often, until golden.
Allow 5 to 7 minutes for pine nuts; 8 to 10 minutes for pecans, pistachios, and walnuts; about 15 minutes for almonds and hazelnuts.
Macadamias need lower heat because they scorch very easily; roast them at 300 for about 20 minutes.
Watch nuts carefully since they brown quickly.
For more toasted flavor, bake nuts to a darker color.
Remove and discard chili stems.
Whirl the chilies, with seeds, in a blender or food processor until finely ground.
In a bowl, mix ground chilies, honey, sugar, oil, salt and cayenne.
Add nuts and stir until coated with seasonings.
Pour nuts onto oiled 15 x 10-inch pan; shake into 1 layer.
Bake in 300 oven, stirring often, until golden brown (under skins, if not blanched) and honey mixture hardens, 25 to 30 minutes.
If necessary, push nuts apart; cool in pan.
