I couldn't find a thread to post this so I started one. Go to a good nut store like Picard's and get: 5 cups of the extra fancy Virginia redskin peanuts 2 cups Honey roasted peanuts 2 cups Butter Toasted Pecans Mix and serve. To die for. Serve with beer. Amazing! I'm gorging right now. Image Unavailable, Please Login
1.25 lb raw cashews .5 cup sugar .5 cup water .25 cup cooked bacon, diced Half the bacon fat from cooking 1 Tblspoon butter Directions: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Add the cashews, and stir continuously. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to occasionally wipe the inside of the pot.*When the water evaporates and the sugar is caramelized, stir in the bacon. Turn off the heat, and add the bacon fat and butter, and smoked salt to taste. Transfer to a greased cookie sheet to cool, then break apart.
Good! Glad you liked. I would throw together batches for good customers to snack on at the bar of the last restaurant I worked in. Anytime! Beef bourguignon tonight
Not something I'd serve for 'grown up's' (although for a Super Bowl party-yum!) but my kids love these. Also a great food idea for college kids-who can't afford a pound of hamburger meat and a loaf of bread? And somehow the bread never burns. http://www.thefoodmaven.com/radiorecipes/meatballs.html

Small risotto balls-diced prosciutto caldo and asparagus risotto, chilled overnight, rolled in a little flour then pan fried. Pics tomorrow.
Finally tried this out myself, with a poor result. Cooking the nuts in the hot sugar made them soft, unless the nuts were NG. I suspect carmelizing the sugar FIRST then adding nuts is the correct way. Yes, no?
