Ingredients
1
cup
nuts
whole or chopped
1/4
cup
granulated sugar
1
Tbsp
butter
Instructions
Melt butter and sugar in a frying pan, stir until it begins to bubble and darken around the edges.
Add in nuts and stir to entirely coat nuts with mixture. The sugar may seize up a bit but that is o.k. - continue stirring and it will melt.
Continue stirring as sugar caramelizes and coats nuts.
Remove from heat when nuts are coated with sugar mixture. Spread in a single layer on a piece of foil and allow to cool.
Store in an airtight container.
