Notes

Handle the tray with care when you take it out of the oven, the maple and honey coating makes the nuts really hot, and can cause burns. Allow them to cool down completely, they will become even crunchier.
It might seem that there isn't enough chocolate for the amount of nuts used, but not to worry, once they chocolate sets, the clusters hold together really well, and won't fall apart at all.
