Tip:
The nut mixes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
Spread the nuts on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
Bake just until the nuts are warm to the touch, about three minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the nuts with the honey and corn syrup, and mix well. Continue baking, stirring often with an oiled spatula (the nuts on the edges of the baking sheet will cook faster than the ones in the center) until the liquid has evaporated into a glaze, 10 to 12 minutes.
Mix the sugar, salt, cumin, chili powder and red pepper in a large bowl.
Once the nuts are finished baking, add them to the sugar mix and coat them.
Transfer to a clean baking sheet and let cool, breaking apart any nuts that stick together. The nuts will crisp as the cool.
