This is one of those heaven-on-earth experiences. This recipe was taken from epicurious.com and was originally used as a pumpkin pie garnish....but it is so amazing and so easy by itself that I just HAD TO share it here! I think it would be a PERFECT addition to any holiday tray.
CAUTION: This is very addictive. it is common to consume mass quantities in one sitting. be warned!! 
SERVES 25 -30 , 25 -30 candies
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt

Directions
1
Place large piece of foil on work surface.2
Stir sugar, honey, butter and salt in heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves, butter melts and syrup comes to simmer.3
Add pecans4
Cook until syrup turns deep caramel color and bubbles thickly.5
stir nuts occasionally to coat (about 9 minutes)6
Scrape onto foil7
WORKING QUICKLY, separate nuts with spoon.8
Cool completely.9
Break candy apart into desired sizes (NOTE: this is why the yield/servings is a guesstimate).10

great base, I felt it needed more salt... even though I used salted butter. I'm definitely making again, I might try with pistachios.
