I made this recipe for the first time tonight and I have to say it was one of the easiest party/snack foods I have ever made, and they taste awesome! The Second batch I did however add a little cinnamon(about 1/4 teaspoon) and it was great both ways. Thanks a bunch W.M. Kudos

'Melon, I uses this recipe to caramelize hazelnuts and it worked beautifully. Do heed the warning in step #7 to avoid burning the nuts. Used local honey and Oregon grown hazelnuts. A million grazies! cg ;)

Oh, I have eaten way too many of these! They are addictive! It was super simple to make. The nuts turn out very glossy and shiny. They look beautiful in a glass jar. I must give these away before I eat them all!
