Fruit nut clusters

These fruit nut clusters are a family favourite at Christmas time. A grown up festive version of Honey Joys! I prefer the fruits and nuts chunky; however, chop them into smaller pieces if you prefer smaller pieces of fruits and nuts. Cooking time: 30 minutes + refrigeration time.

Ingredients (makes 36 )

150 grams butter, chopped
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 Tbsp honey
3 1/2 cups cornflakes
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup flaked almonds, roasted
1/2 cup pistachios, roasted
1/3 cup glace cherries, chopped

Method

Line trays with patty cases.
Stir butter, sugar and honey in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves.
Combine cornflakes, cranberries, almonds, pistachios and glace cherries in a large bowl. Stir in butter mixture.
Spoon mixture into patty cases; refrigerate until set.
