A nice accompaniment to a light dessert

cups macadamia nuts

tablespoon cocoa powder

tablespoons Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

/ cup creme de cacao

tablespoon maple syrup

In a dry pan toast the macadamia nuts over mediumhigh to high heat on the stove top Stir frequently so the

hazelnuts don't burn Toast until the nuts are nicely brown and fragrant about minutes total

To the nuts in the pan add the creme de cacao and stir Cook minute Add maple syrup stir and cook another

minute (these liquids should be evaporating quite quickly) Add the cocoa powder and sucanat sugar stir and

cook another minutes until the nuts are pretty dry Remove from heat and let cool If the nuts are very sticky

and the glaze will not "dry" you can place the nuts in the refrigerator (on a parchment paper covered baking

sheet) to "dry/"freeze" the glaze onto the nuts

These can be eaten as is cut in half to use as garnish on a cake dropped into ice cream while freezing garnished

on any dessert or ground and put into cake or cookie batters

VARIATIONS:

Use other types of nuts such as pecans walnuts or almonds with other types of liqueurs such as Amaretto grand

Marnier or Sambuca

If you want the nuts to stick together you could use brown rice syrup instead of maple syrup and this will make a

very sticky "nut brittle"
