Did you know that Macadamian Nuts are considered to be the world’s finest nuts? They are a great source of Vitamin A, iron, protein and more. I just love these nuts and hadn’t really thought about using them when baking or making sweets. I have had chocolate covered Macadamin Nuts though!
Today I want to share an easy-to-follow recipe with you courtesy of COOKINA and Celebrity Chef George Duran for some Salted Macadamian Nut Brittle.
Salted Macadamian Nut Brittle Recipe

Ingredients
