Add these to a salad or scatter them alongside the pickles and crackers on your cheese board or set them out before you serve your meal as an irresistible snack. In any case, they’ll bring a little fancy, a little salty, a little sweet to your table. The secret is starting with top-quality nuts. And don’t walk away while they’re on the burner; they can go from not-quite-ready to a-little-too-done in an instant.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. butter
