Sweet and Spicy Nuts

I got the basics for this recipe off allrecipes.com and then just made some minor changes to suit my liking, I like a lot of spice so I used more cayenne pepper then what I wrote here...I like that left over burning sensation =p

Ingredients:

2-3 cups toasted nuts (I did almonds and pecans, it's all your preference)

2 tbsp butter

1/4 cup +1 tsp sugar

~1tbsp honey (I didn't measure it out, just a couple times around the pan drizzling out of the bottle)

1/2tsp +1 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less depending on how hot you like it)

pinch of salt

Directions:

In a large skillet melt butter with honey, 1tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and pinch of salt.

In a large (heat proof) bowl mix together 1/4 sugar and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. Put in nuts and then pour in butter mixture over. Toss to coat, add more sugar cayenne pepper mix if you'd like them to be less sticky.
