Kahlua Crystallized Nuts
Kahlua Recipe Book

3 c. whole shelled nuts (blanched almonds, pecans,
macadamia nuts, etc)
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. Kahlua
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 Tbsp. butter

Place nuts in shallow pan and toast in 300 degree oven for 20 minutes,
stirring once. Turn into lightly buttered hot metal bowl or large
saucepan. In 1 qt. saucepan, combine remaining ingredients and bring
to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer;
bring to hard crack stage (300 degrees). Pour over roasted nuts; stir
with buttered metal spoon to coat evenly. Spread, in single layer, on
buttered jelly roll pan. Cool; separate in small chunks. Store in
airtight container. Makes about 5 cups.

For macadamias, rub off excess salt. Toast 10 minutes only. Add
nuts towards end of syrup cooking time. Heat but do not cook further.
