1 cup salted dry roasted peanuts
1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), cut into chunks
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons honey

Steps:

Put the nuts, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it becomes a nice walnut color and thickens, about 10 to 12 minutes. Quickly pour onto a silpat or foil lined baking sheet and spread the brittle to an even thickness of about 1/3-inch with the back of the spoon.
Cool for 3 or 4 minutes then score the brittle with a sharp knife into about 24 (2-inch) squares. Once the brittle has cooled completely, snap along scored marks.
