This is my friend Chantell opening her can. Those little fingers are my youngest, Sofie, who was sure Chantell needed some help! And was avoiding going to bed and missing the party. See the above picture for what the can contained - treats, confetti, stamps, ink pad, and a small note. Congratulations! We should have more door prizes . . . .that was fun.
And thanks, ladies, for eating all those nuts! I made up some candied nuts because I had to open . . . . ready for it . . . . 48 cans of nuts to prep for this class!
Here is the exact recipe:
Glazed Nuts
3-4 c nuts
2 tbs butter
1/2 c (more or less as you wish) sugar
vanilla, cinnamon, or whatever you want for flavor
Put all of that into a skillet (frying pan, Nadine) over medium heat, shaking the pan every so often, but not stirring, until the butter and sugar start to melt. Then reduce the heat a bit and stir and shake a little here and there until the sugar is golden brown and the nuts seem pretty well coated with the glaze. Pour out onto a piece of foil or a buttered plate or something where it can cool and not stick totally. These store best in the frig, I think, but they won't last long! I think they might also be really good with some butter extract and a bit of salt added with the sugar. Or maybe a caramel extract? Coffee? Cream? Where's Rachael? We need some more flavors . . .
