How to Make Caramelized Macadamia Nuts

  1. Heat a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the saucepan. Do not stir.
  3. Let the sugar melt completely into a light amber caramel, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even melting. Avoid stirring.
  4. Add 1 cup macadamia nuts to the caramel and stir gently but continuously to coat the nuts evenly.
  5. Continue stirring until the nuts are fully coated in caramel and are a rich golden brown color (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Immediately pour the caramelized nuts onto a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  7. Let the nuts cool completely, then break them apart into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container.
