Maple Vanilla Almond Clusters

1. 1

   Toast nuts in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).

2. 2

   Add water, vanilla, and maple syrup to the sugar and stir to combine.

3. 3

   Add sugar mixture and butter to the toasted nuts.

4. 4

   Continue to heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the mixture is sticky and no longer runny (about 3 minutes).

5. 5

   Remove from heat and spread the nuts around in the pan.

6. 6

   Let sit for a few minutes in the pan, give another stir and spread the nuts around in the pan again.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with a few shakes of table salt or pinches of sea salt if you like sweet/salty nuts (highly recommended by me)!

8. 8

   Let sit for at least 1 hour in the pan or until cool and hardened (the flavor develops as they cool, so make sure you dont eat them all right away).

9. 9

   Break into chunks and enjoy!
