Ingredients

  • 1 cup agave nectar
  • cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup roasted macadamia nut halves
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Line a baking tray with baking paper or get a silicone baking mat out ready.
  • Place the agave and coconut oil into a medium sized pot and bring to a boil (it will bubble up quite quickly so don’t leave it unattended).
  • Once boiling, add the macadamia nuts and stir continuously for 20-30 minutes until it reaches hard crack temperature (300F/150C).
  • Remove from heat and stir in salt and baking soda (it will froth quite a lot so be wary and ready to pour as soon as it’s all mixed in).
  • Pour it out onto the lined baking tray or silicone mat and leave to cool to room temperature then refrigerate until stiff.
  • Break it up then return to the fridge.
  • Serve straight from the fridge.
