Postup
Preheat Oven to 325F. Heat honey, salt, water and vanilla(optional) in a medium pot over medium heat until it starts bubbling. Lower to med-low and heat to 255F- 260F. This will take about 15- 20 minutes, and will happen rapidly once it reaches 230F.
While honey mixture is heating, lightly toast nuts and coconut, just until coconut is fragrant and lightly golden about 8-10 minutes.
When honey has reached 260F max, turn heat off and pour in the nuts and coconuts into the pot, stirring well to coat. Mixture may seem dry, but just keep mixing, until evenly coated. Spread out in a greased (or parchment lined) 9x13 inch pan. Using a greased spatula, spread out evenly and press down firmly, compressing it down as much as you can. I will use a greased metal spatula, or even the bottom of a glass ( greased) or my hands with a piece of parchment paper in-between.
Let cool at room temp for 20 to 30 minutes, flip onto a cutting board ( in one piece) and cut into bars. Let cool completely. Store in an air tight container layered with parchment, or just leave them on the counter like I do and watch them disappear. Or wrap them individually with parchment and string.
