Honeyed Nuts - A little something sweet

Whoo Hoo..we have a camera...and even better....some internet. To celebrate, definitely something sweet and not too guilty a treat. I am quite addicted to these nuts just about any time of the day. Straight after breakfast, before lunch and for sure after supper when the sweet craving hits. Use a selection of nuts or just one sort; as you please. I prefer raw, unsalted nuts for health reasons, but if what you have is roasted and salted - use them! I make about 3 batches a week, they are sinfully delicious, I am hoping the novelty will wear off, just not too soon.

                                       Honeyed Nuts
1 1/2 cups nuts (I use half each macadamia's, almonds and cashews or some pecans)
45ml honey
1t olive oil

Preheat oven to 180C. Mix all ingredients well and pour onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the nuts. The honey should have caramelized and the nuts turned a deep golden colour. Allow to cool then store in an airtight container. I find they are a bit sticky when I store them, but as they settle the caramel hardens and the container needs a good whack to loosen them up.
Um, guys/ladies....that means  a plastic container. If you whack a glass container....predictable results for which I take no responsibility!!
