Beer Nuts (I also use this recipe for Pine Nuts in salads)

Directions

1. Stir ingredients together in a large, heavy bottomed skillet over low heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved, then slowly cook until thick.
2. When the mixture begins to thicken, stir with a wooden spoon constantly until the sugar begins to caramelize. Pour onto a foil lined baking sheet, separating clusters with the wooden spoon.
3. CAUTION: Mixture is very hot - do not touch until completely cooled.
4. Variations: Sprinkle with garlic or onion salt while cooling, or add 1/2-1 tsp. cinnamon to mixture during the last minute of cooling.
