Instructions

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
• Add 1 cup whole raw nuts, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon butter to a large nonstick skillet.
• Place the skillet over medium heat and stir constantly with a rubber or heat‑proof spatula. Turn the heat down if the sugar starts browning or smoking.
• Continue stirring until the sugar melts into the butter and completely coats the nuts, about 5–7 minutes. The mixture may look grainy until it suddenly melts and becomes glossy at the end.
• Immediately pour the coated nuts onto the prepared parchment and use two forks to spread them into a single layer and separate any clusters while the coating is still warm.
• Let the nuts cool undisturbed until the coating hardens, about 5–7 minutes. Once cooled, break apart any remaining clusters or chop the nuts if desired.
