Maple Coated Nuts. This is what we call a real treat food in our house. We might have them about a handful of times a year, usually when something special is happening like Christmas or parties. This week, our 11 yo daughter was taking her first solo flight to Adelaide to visit her friends. She was so excited. I was so nervous but excited for her. To make her plane flight special, I packed her this lunchbox. It had my Cheats Gozleme, raw carrot sticks and lightly steamed broccoli, chocolate protein bombs and these maple coated nuts. The lunchbox received so many comments on Facebook requesting the recipes so here’s there recipe for maple coated nuts. Enjoy!
These maple nuts make a great homemade gift, so keep this recipe and make them for some Christmas Gifts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1 tblspn butter
- 1 tblspn Maple Syrup
Method
- Roughly chop nuts
- Over medium heat, melt butter in small frying in pan
- Throw nuts into the melted butter and stir around until coated
- Lightly toast the nuts in the butter until you see they are cooking – usually about 2 minutes
- Pour the maple syrup into the pan and stir the nuts around until they are all coated
- Stir the nuts around until the maple syrup starts to bubble up and dissolve
- Spoon out the nuts onto a plate or chopping board. Some of the nuts will be stuck together, that’s ok
- Allow the nuts to cool. They will harden up when they are cool
- Break nuts up or leave them in chunks – your choice.
Storage
Store them in an airtight glass jar.
