Spicy caramel brittle

Prepare this quick treat in the microwave.

Melt 30ml butter in a deep, microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 125ml runny honey and 125ml each whole roasted peri-peri cashew nuts and mixed nuts (or use 250ml mixed nuts if you don’t want the ‘bite’). Microwave everything together on high for 6 minutes or until the honey has a deep caramel colour. Carefully pour onto a sheet of baking paper and spread evenly. Allow to cool completely and break into shards or chop finely. Store in an airtight container.
