Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Spread the mixed nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted, watching carefully to prevent burning.
-
While nuts are toasting, combine sugar, brewed coffee, ground cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan.
-
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Transfer toasted nuts to a large bowl and pour coffee syrup over them, tossing gently to coat evenly.
-
Spread coated nuts back onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until syrup caramelizes and nuts are golden brown, stirring halfway through baking.
-
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
-
Once cooled, break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container.
