Ingredients:

nuts, pecans
sugars, granulated
sugars, brown
syrup, maple, canadian
water, bottled, generic
butter, without salt
leavening agents, baking soda

Directions:
Place almonds and pecans on a baking tray and bake at 180 degrees C for 5 minutes or until golden.
Set aside to cool.
Place sugar, brown sugar, golden syrup and water in a heavy-based sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Add butter, bring to the boil and boil, without stirring, until mixture reaches hard crack stage (when the syrup is dropped into iced water it separates into threads which become hard and brittle) or 150 C on a sugar thermometer.
