About

This toffee is crunchy and buttery and could be made with any one of your favourite nuts. The combination of dark chocolate and macadamia works wonderfully, making this treat rich and luxurious, but different nuts, such as pecans or hazelnuts, would be equally delicious.

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas 3. Spread the macadamias out on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
Set a timer for 5 minutes and then check the nuts, giving them a toss. They will probably need another few minutes. They should be slightly golden
