2. Prepare Nuts: In a large bowl, combine the roasted cashews, whole pecans, and walnuts.

3. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a baking pan with foil and lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

4. Prepare Syrup: In a small saucepan over moderate heat, bring the sugar (and optionally, water and honey) to a boil, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.

5. Coat Nuts: Pour the hot syrup over the nuts in the bowl, stirring until all the nuts are well coated with the caramelized mixture.

6. Roast Nuts: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the coated nuts to the prepared baking pan, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer. Be careful not to pour excess syrup onto the pan. Roast the nuts in the middle of the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. (Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn easily!)

7. Cool: Once golden brown and caramelized, remove the nuts from the oven. Lightly oil another sheet of foil and spread the nuts in a single layer to cool completely. This step helps prevent the nuts from sticking together as they cool.

8. Break Apart: Once cooled, break apart any nuts that may have stuck together during the cooling process.

9. Serve: Enjoy your delicious caramelized nuts as a snack, or use them as a topping for salads, yogurt, or ice cream.
