This recipe starts out like you are making peanut brittle. Boiling the sugars to get the candy.
The you add the marshmallows.
Which turns the liquid into more of a rice crispy treat of sorts.
The marshmallow does eventually harden a bit, but not completely.
I was going to use almond flavoring, but ended up using a little rum flavoring. I thought that might make it interesting.
So for mine - I get a hint of rum, a lot of salt, and a little sweetness.
This is absolutely a strange snack. But, if you enjoy sweet and salty you will more than likely enjoy it!
Flavored Nuts
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Karo Syrup
