Caramel Macadamia Nut Crunch

Caramel Macadamia Nut Crunch is a delectable dessert that combines the rich flavors of caramel and macadamia nuts. This dish is perfect for those who love a sweet and crunchy treat. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup of macadamia nuts
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the macadamia nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Once toasted, remove them from the oven and set them aside.
Next, in a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Do not stir the mixture while it is boiling, but instead swirl the pan occasionally to ensure that the sugar caramelizes evenly.
Once the mixture has turned a deep amber color, remove it from the heat and add the butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the butter has melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Add the toasted macadamia nuts to the caramel mixture and stir until they are evenly coated. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it out into an even layer. Allow the mixture to cool and harden for at least 30 minutes.
Once the mixture has hardened, break it into small pieces and serve. This dish is perfect for serving as a dessert or as a snack.
