STEP 1

Make the caramel

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar and honey over a low heat. Stir until you obtain a light amber caramel. Add the chopped nuts and stir quickly to coat them evenly.

STEP 2

Prepare the basket bases

Pour half of the mixture onto a sheet of baking paper, cover with a second sheet and roll out with a rolling pin to form a thin disc.

STEP 3

Shape the baskets

While the disc is still warm and pliable, place it over the inverted base of a muffin tin or small cup to create a basket shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second basket. Leave to cool and harden completely at room temperature for about 15 minutes, until crisp.
