These nuts are good for decorating/garnishing cakes or just to serve as finger snack treats

cups hazelnuts

tablespoons Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

/ cup Frangelico liqueur

/ cup maple syrup

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

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

Transfer nuts to a paper bag and rub to remove as much of the nut skin as possible (this is the paperlike covering

around the nut meat) Transfer nuts back to pan leaving behind the nut skins (putting the nuts in a bowl can make

it easier to leave the nut skins behind)

Return stove top to mediumhigh to high heat and once the pan is hot again with the nuts in it add the

Frangelico liqueur and stir Cook minute Add maple syrup stir and cook another minute (these liquids should

be evaporating quite quickly) Add the 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"
