On a sheet pan place in a 350’F oven for about 10-15 minutes. Just enough to barely brown them. Let them cool.
Caramel
In a sauce pan place the sugar and water stir to combine and then let it be. You can swirl the pan a few times until it starts to brown, about 5-10 minutes. It will continue to brown so don’t take it too far. Remove it from the heat and add 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
While the caramel is still hot add the nuts and salt into the saucepan. Working quickly spread the nut mixture onto the same sheet pan with either parchment or Silpat. Flatten out with a couple of forks the best you can. Once cooled and hardened break apart and enjoy!
