Honey Roasted Cashews Recipe
Ingredients:
½ cups honey

1) Melt butter under low heat.
2) Meanwhile, mix the honey, butter and ½ tsp ground cinnamon in a saucepan.

4) After removing mixture from the heat, pour over the cashews and mix them thoroughly. Make sure the nuts are all coated in the honey mixture.
