Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts

Momma and Daddy used to get a tin of these during Christmas. They are extremely easy and remind me of Christmas past.

Do not use “cheap” chocolate. Be sure to use your favorite! If you prefer a higher chocolate ratio, use equal parts nuts and chocolate.

Salt Water Taffy

May 23rd is National Salt Water Taffy day. Here is a great recipe to try!

Lime Truffles

This is a recipe I changed a little from a recipe that I made at work.

Candied Pistachios

Instead of almonds, I wanted to try pistachios. I prefer the pistachios!

Chocolate Sausage

Rolled into a sausage shape and then cut, this is a simple and very customizable treat.

Burnt Almonds (Gebrannte Mandeln)

We discovered this recipe while looking for German Christmas recipes. Many “Weihnachtsmarkt” (Christmas markets) serve these cinnamony nuts. While it would make sense to share the recipe for Christmas, we decided to wait until National Almond Day, which is the 16th of February every year.

To keep from burning, the mixture needs to be stirred continuously.
