Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Warm a kitchen towel in the microwave or clothing dryer. Wrap the hazelnuts in the warm towel, and let them sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Then, rub the towel vigorously against the nuts to remove the shells.
- Place the naked hazelnuts in your food processor and roughly chop them into smaller pieces.
- Next, melt the butter over medium heat in a small saute pan. Add in the sugar and nuts, stirring for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the nuts are shiny and sticky.
- Spread the hazelnuts over wax paper, making sure they aren't overlapping too much until they are cooled.
