Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped cashews
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional)
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes or seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the chopped nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4–6 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 3–4 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
- Quickly mix in the toasted nuts, and if using, the oats and coconut flakes. Stir until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Let cool completely.
- If using chocolate chips, sprinkle them on while the mixture is still warm but not hot. Press gently and let cool fully.
- Once hardened, break into clusters and store in an airtight container.
