Expert Tips

Tip 1
Tip: This is one of those great sweet and salty mixes with a layer of flavours ... you get a nice sweetness from the honey and the corn syrup, then the saltiness, then the warm flavour of the cardamon and the slight bite of the ginger and cayenne. You just can't stop eating it!
Tip 2
Do-Ahead: Avoid last-minute prep by making this mix up to 1 week ahead and storing it in an airtight container.
