Very tasty recipe. I will make it again, however, when I do I think I will carmelise the sugar first then add the nuts. I did wait to stir until the sugar just started melting, however I had to stir it for a good 15 - 20 minutes before the sugar completely melted and coated the nuts. I probably didn't wait long enough before starting to stir originally, but a few of the nuts were starting to scorch by the time the recipe was done. I think making the 'syrup' first, then adding the nuts off heat would be easier.

Wonderful! Chose these to make as a traveling snack for DH going on a business trip... and am I glad I did! He just loves them, as do I, so I'm glad he's taking them with him or I would eat them all!! I did wait until the sugar had started melting and then stirred... but found myself letting it sit for another couple of minutes without stirring so the sugar was pretty much melted before continuing to stir. It worked out perfectly. These are just delicious — thanks for a great recipe! Dianne

I made these using whole walnuts and they are MAGICALLY ADDICTIVE! Bro and me had some tonight after our dinner and he is beaming from ear to ear! I did omit step number 1 when I read the recipe and realised that butter wasn't required to actually cook the recipe. Once the nuts were ready, I allowed them to cool on a paper plate. My bro, Manav, ate them right out of that same plate once they cooled down. Oh and my apartment smelt heavenly while these were on the stove top! Thank you for posting this! Now I have something to feed Santa when he knocks on my door! Merry Christmas!

I love this recipe !~. So easy to make too. On the second time of making these candies, I added a pinch of salt & cinnamon and also used more nuts (+ 1/2 cup).

Very nice for a tasty snack! I used whole almonds to make this and I followed the directions to the letter. I will be sure to make this recipe again! Thanks, Hey Jude!

These are so good! I made as posted and it was very easy. I used almonds ~ next time I think I will roast them first to bring out the full flavor of the almonds. This recipe was very quick and easy and they cooled down very quickly. These would be great for gifts and gift baskets. They ARE addicting! Thanks for posting!

I just recently started liking nuts so I couldn't wait to try this recipe. I used a canned blend of nuts with peanuts, cashews, pecans, etc. I cooked it exactly as directed. I just knew for sure I would somehow mess it up by burning the nuts or cooking for too long or something like that but these came out just perfect and they were so quick to make. I could hardly wait for them to cool down to try them because they smelled so good! They tasted just delicious, the only problem is I ate too many at once and ended up with a tummy ache! This stuff is DEFINITELY addictive. This recipe will go into my keepers cookbook..thanks for posting it! Made for Sring PAC '09.

We burnt the first batch and paid closer attention to heat level and stirring instructions on the 2nd batch. Much, much better! This would make wonderful gifts in pretty little jars. Tonight we'll be putting it on top of Elegant Sweet Potato Skins. Next time we want to try it using pecans and maple sugar.
