Macadamia Nut Toffee

Macadamia nuts, a part of Australian bush tucker, are easy to get in supermarkets in the U.S.A.

I have been making this for years for school fetes and picnics.

Make your usual recipe for toffee. Lay out roughly chopped macadamias (not too small) on a well greased tray. Pour toffee over and cool. When hard, take to the toffee with a hammer. Just delicious. Or for a different approach, put nuts in paper patty pan cases and pour toffee over. Often I will sprinkle a little dessicated coconut over the top.

Very very tasty. Macadamia nuts are truly addictive.

Note: We make these in Australian History classes with Year 9 boys (aged 14 +)
