HONEY GLAZED MACADAMIA NUTS



Honey Glazed Macadamia Nuts image

I used Gale Gand's recipe from "Sweet Dreams" episode Sweets By Mail at Foodnetwork. I have tweaked it, to suit our needs for a particular occasion. We served these at a wedding reception that we had for a couple of staff members who never had a ceremony, they only went to the courthouse. This happened about 5 years ago but I forgot about these little tidbits! Used these with my Cranberry-Chutney Brie Appetizers and they turned out great!
