Method

step 1
Mix together all the ingredients in a pan and place over a moderate heat. Stir constantly, allowing the mix to caramelise and turn brown and making sure all the nuts are well coated.
step 2
Pour the nuts onto some greaseproof paper. Don't worry if they are stuck together, as they can be separated when cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

I had the same problem with the mixture being sugary so added a tiny bit more grand marnier and a knob of butter then turned the heat up more and this did the trick. I think if they're not caramlising then it needs to be hotter. I did have to be careful then though as they would'vd burned much…
