3. Immediately pour them onto buttered paper in a single layer. Work quickly, this starts clumping fast. These will be very hard at first but will soften overnight. The flavor becomes much better, too.
4. Store in an airtight container.

Yield: 2 cups

Note:You can use any kind of nuts you like. You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated and you can add spices, too.
