Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius.
Roughly chop the nuts - leaving some bits small, and some nuts whole (at least, this is how I like it - feel free to be creative).
Mix all ingredients together well in a large bowl.
Spread out mixture on cookie or baking sheet and bake for around 30-35 minutes. You might need to turn the baking sheet around 20 mins through the baking time.
Let cool then place into air tight container.

Additional Information

This should last around a week or so. To be honest, it never lasts that long anyway! As an FYI - you could add just about any type of nut or dried fruit to this. I've thought about adding some chopped dark chocolate to the baked, cooled mix also.
