"Sugared" Nuts

Use a grenulated sweetener for this method, such as Rapadura or Sucanat evaporated cane juice, date sugar. This is very easy.

1. Put equal amounts butter and sweetener in a skillet, and melt them together over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
2. Add enough nuts so that all the butter/sweetener mixture coats the nuts (use about 2-3 tablespoons each of butter and sweetener for about 1 cup nuts)
3. Continue to cook for a few minutes, again stirring constantly.
4. Turn out on a plate and let them cool. Be sure to let them cool before touching them as the sweetener and butter are VERY HOT.
5. Run water into the pan immediately and let it soak before washing.
