2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c almonds
1/2 c pecan halves
1/2 c cashews, unsalted
1/2 tsp vanilla

6. Spread cooked nut mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Cool completely before breaking nuts apart. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:

Choose high-quality nuts for the best flavor and texture. Look for nuts that are fresh, plump, and free of blemishes.
Use a variety of nuts to create a flavorful and visually appealing mix. Consider using a combination of almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, and pistachios.
Toast the nuts before glazing them to enhance their flavor and aroma. Toasting also helps the glaze to adhere to the nuts.
Use a simple glaze made with sugar, water, and a flavorful extract, such as vanilla or almond extract. You can also add spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to the glaze for a more complex flavor.
Stir the nuts frequently while they are being glazed to ensure that they are evenly coated. Overheating the nuts can cause them to burn, so be careful not to cook them for too long.
Let the nuts cool completely before storing them. Once they have cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
