Honey Mustard Cashew Nuts

A sweet and tangy snack. Perfect as is or as a crunchy, flavourful addition to a nice salad. It also makes a really nice gift -- just put it in a pretty jar with a ribbon. This recipe should come with a warning though because these are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! :) I came up with this recipe because I love honey mustard pretzels and I love cashews -- so it just made sense to see if I could successfully combine the two. Feel free to adjust seasonings to your liking. Sometimes I add in a bit of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat, but that is optional so I left it out. This recipe is also nice for peanuts, almonds, walnuts, etc.
