List of Ingredients




3 cups whole shelled nuts; blanched almonds, pecans, macadamias*, etc.
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Kahlúa
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter

*For macadamias, rub off excess salt. Toast 10 minutes only. Add nuts toward end of syrup cooking time. Heat but do not cook further.







Recipe



Place nuts in shallow pan and toast in 300 degrees F. oven for 20 minutes, stirring once. Turn into lightly buttered hot metal bowl or large saucepan.

In 1-quart saucepan, combine remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer; bring to hard crack stage (300 degrees F.).

Pour over toasted nuts; stir with buttered metal spoon to coat evenly. Spread, in single layer, on buttered jelly roll pan. Cool; separate in small chunks.

Store in air-tight container.

Makes about 5 cups.
