    Place the sugar, cake mix, brandy, lime zest and juice, and a pinch of salt in a small pot and reduce to a syrup over low to medium heat. Once thick, pour over the pistachios and place in the oven to roast for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely to form a stiff praline. Break into chunks, transfer to a food processor and pulse to form a chunky crumble.
