On the plus side, the egg and honey made a good base that coated the nuts well, and the use of peanuts with pecans and pine nuts was a great combination. I was not crazy about the flavors in this - the cinnamon and cayenne didn't work for me. Coriander and cumin together with the sage and sesame seeds might be interesting.
