Recipe Tips

Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect Maple Nut Goodies:

• Use Fresh Nuts: Always use fresh nuts for the best flavor. Stale nuts can ruin the taste of your candies.
• Choose the Right Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup for the best results. Avoid using maple-flavored syrups, as they don’t provide the same rich flavor.
• Don’t Overcook the Mixture: Be careful not to overcook the maple mixture. It should be thick but not too hard. If it becomes too hard, it will be difficult to coat the nuts.
• Stir Constantly: When cooking the maple mixture, stir constantly to prevent it from burning.
• Work Quickly: Once the nuts are coated in the maple mixture, spread them out quickly on a baking sheet. This prevents them from sticking together as they cool.
