RECIPE BACKSTORY
NOTE ABOUT NUTS:
Chopped nuts distribute more evenly than whole nuts.
Any type nut can be used.
Roasting enhances the nutty flavor. Flavoring the nuts is OK. (Cinnamon, cayenne, rosemary, mint, etc.)
To roast nuts, spread on cookie sheet lined with Reynolds Parchment paper and roast in oven @ 275’ for 20 - 25 minutes.
Due to the cooling time of the candy, you must work quickly once the candy has come up to temperature.
