I think 7 minutes on high in the microwave is to high and too long. I would suggest stirring the nuts every 45 seconds and stopping when they start to get light brown,

I tried this recipe a 2nd time because the first time I burned it in the microwave. I halved the recipe again, but microwaved only 3 minutes, stirring once at 1:30. Still, I nearly burned it. The nuts turned out tasting okay -- but not what I would call "wonderful."
