Now we're talking. These were damn good and right on the verge of awesome.
Again, I started with unsalted mixed nuts, but this time it was a two-step process. First, in a skillet I boiled water and sugar, stirred in cayenne, curry, salt and nuts. I turned it down to medium and cooked for 10 minutes until it turned into a syrup.
Next, I dumped all of that into a baking dish and cooked for 10 minutes on 450. I pulled it and let it sit for a while, because it was ridiculously hot. It tasted incredible, but there were 2 things that prevented it from perfection.
1. I let it cool a little too long, and/or I crowded them a little too much. The nuts were extremely hard to get out of the pan because the caramel had hardened so much, and they were forming into clusters that were hard to break too. The hardening also made the pan really really hard to clean, so I had to soak it overnight, but you don't care about that, you just want to eat my food.
2. They were very slightly burned. If I had cooked them for 2 less minutes in the pan or oven they would've been even better.
Modifications: Cut two minutes off the cooking time and these will be fantastic.
Make again:? Absolutely yes.
