You weren't kidding about being addictive! This was a wonderful treat, enjoyed by all. I loved the Kahlua added to the glaze, giving it just that wonderful hint of coffee-praline flavor! Thinking about it, these would be good served on a wonderful salad. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!

Absolutely delicious! I made these and wished I would have had them done to include on my trays for neighbors!! My Dad ended up taking the rest home, so I will make more for DH to take to work unless I try for New Years. Will make again!! Easy and tasty! Thanks for posting. **Made for Beverage Tag 2007**

These were delicious. I didn't have a candy thermometer, so guessed it was time to remove the glaze from the stove at 12 minutes. I should have given it several minutes longer, but it was close enough to work. I baked them a few minutes longer, to compensate. I included the glazed nuts in little goodie bags, and they were a big hit! This recipe is a definite keeper.
