Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter & add the nuts. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the nuts are fragrant & beginning to toast. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring until the sugar begins to melt. Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the nuts are nicely carmelized around the outside. Transfer nuts to a parchment lined baking sheet to cool, stir periodically so they don't clump. Tip: to enhance flavor-toast nuts after putting in pan for about 7 minutes
