INGREDIENTS

STEPS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Spread the chopped nuts in a single layer in a pan and toast them in the oven for 8 to 10 min, turning them with a spoon from time to time. Watch carefully for any sign of burning.
  3. In a heavy 2-quart pan, combine the honey and sugar and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil.
  4. When the syrup reaches 220 F, lower the heat and stir in the nuts.
  5. Brush the inside of an 8” to 9” round pie tin or pan with cold water and pour in the nut mixture.
  6. Smooth the top and set aside, uncovered, to cool.
  7. When firm, dip the pan into hot water and invert a flat plate on top.
  8. Grasping the two firmly together, turn over; the candy should slide out in one piece.
  9. With a sharp knife dipped in hot water, cut into square shapes.
