Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
3 cups whole shelled nuts (blanched almonds, pecans, macadamias*, etc.)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Kahlua
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
directions
Place nuts in shallow pan and toast in 300 degrees F oven for 20 minutes, stirring once. Turn into lightly buttered hot metal bowl or large saucepan.
In 1 quart saucepan, combine remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer; bring to hard crack stage (300 degrees F).
Pour over toasted nuts; stir with buttered metal spoon to coat evenly. Spread, in single layer, on buttered jelly roll pan. Cool; separate in small chunks. Store in air-tight container.
* For macadamias, rub off excess salt. Toast 10 minutes only. Add nuts toward end of syrup cooking time. Heat but do not cook further.

Made these for Christmas gifts one year and now friends start asking in Nov. if I will be making them again each year. Big hit. Give at the office, most times they don't make it home. Once you start eating this snack its almost impossible to stop.
