Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, stir together the honey, half of the brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, and ground cinnamon. Once the mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly, remove it from the heat.
Place raw cashews in a large bowl and pour in the honey mixture. Stir with a spatula to coat evenly.
Spread honey coated cashews in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. After the nuts have baked for 10 minutes, stir the cashews every five minutes to prevent burning. Remove them from the oven when they turn golden brown and appear roasted.
Sprinkle the remaining two tablespoons of brown sugar and the kosher salt onto the cashews while they are still warm. Then let cool, and break them apart as needed, then serve.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

You can use this same recipe with any raw nuts.
